As the county wraps up loose ends on the last round of transportation projects funded by a $280 million bond approved by voters in 2015, Montgomery County Commissioners Court was briefed on a potential future mobility bond and associated projects Feb. 26. The presentation showed possible future projects connecting east-west and north-south corridors across Montgomery County from Willis to The Woodlands and from Magnolia to New Caney, intended to increase mobility. The countywide project builds off the mobility study on The Woodlands already conducted by Brown & Gay Engineers, applying its mobility goals at a countywide level. Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack said he was working with BGE for some time, helping identify a laundry list of projects that could improve his district. Although those projects were able to be funded by the previous bond, county staff said it has reached a point where additional funding is needed. “One thing we can all agree on is the county is growing,” Noack said. “We need to continue to invest in our mobility solutions that make sense, and as we go forward the court should really work together to pay attention to not just individual precincts, but crossing the precinct boundaries.” The presentation identified mobility objectives such as road options parallel to I-45 and other east-west connectivity routes that would help people move around and through the county. “There are roads on there that may not need to happen, there are roads on there that definitely need to happen,” said Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley. “[Hwy.] 149, Keenan Cutoff Road, they definitely need to happen and I’m glad to see those on there. Looking at a lot of the state projects here too, we’re going to have to have help from the state. There are a lot of county project that are not even shown here. I’ve got a pretty good laundry list of county projects I want to take a look at. I’m not saying we need to come out right now and do this, but it needs to be looked at pretty quick.”
