What we reported: Several local organizations have put plans in place in recent years to address the roadway’s continuing challenges, such as mobility projects and community rebranding initiatives through the Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce Grow Northwest campaign.

The latest: Grow Northwest’s Safety and Security Task Force is collaborating with Helping Others Pursue Excellence Haven in a campaign—“Don’t Give Change-Be the Change”—to eradicate panhandling and homeless loitering, which is a prevalent issue on FM 1960.

What’s next: Two monument signs have been proposed on Cypresswood Drive and eventually two sculptures could be installed on FM 1960. While funding for the projects is pending, verbal approval from Harris County has been granted.
