Improvements for the intersection where Westheimer Road and Elgin Street meet at Bagby Street are slated to begin March 24 in Houston.

As previously reported by Community Impact Newspaper, the project will add curb extensions, take away an extra turning space and restripe the roadways to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety.

According to a Facebook post from Abbie Kamin, Houston City Council member for District C, the $25,000 project is being fully supported with service funds from District C.

The improvements to the roadway are part of a quick action plan that aligns with Houston’s Vision Zero, an initiative that is “committed to ending traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2030,” according to the city's website. Construction is expected to wrap up around April 6.
