The North Houston Association presented its 2025 Strategic Mobility Priorities to Montgomery County commissioners during the Sept. 9 court meeting, highlighting 22 transportation projects aimed at improving regional mobility.

The details

The association, founded in 1982, updates its mobility priorities every three years to identify projects most in need of political support or funding, North Houston Association President Marlisa Briggs said.

“We save the spots for those projects that really need our assistance,” Briggs said.

The process began with subcommittee meetings and consultations with more than 25 agencies, cities and economic development groups across Montgomery, Harris and Waller counties, Hunter Brennan, strategic mobility plan co-chair for the North Houston Association, said. Brennan said that identifying projects most in need of advocacy is key to advancing mobility improvements.

From an initial list of more than 90 projects, the association narrowed its focus to 22 using a scoring system based on regional needs. Kim Sachtleben, board chair for the North Houston Association, said the final list reflects a geographic spread across the region.

Sachtleben said there are four Montgomery County projects included in the priority list:

• Magnolia Relief Route
• David Memorial Drive extension north
• Hwy. 249 widening
• Old Conroe Road widening

Other projects include Texas Department of Transportation efforts such as the widenings of FM 2978, Loop 336 and FM 1314. One project, the proposed I-45 and FM 830 interchange, currently has no sponsoring agency, Sachtleben said.

According to the association's website, the priorities are intended to support long-term economic development across its 1,800-square-mile service area.
