The Woodlands Township approves $250K for mobility hub study

The Goodman Corp. is under contract as a transit consultant for the project and did the township's 2024 transit plan, Haut said.

What they’re saying

Board Chair Brad Bailey said that parking is outdated in Town Center, with limited spaces available. He said responding to the issue will help spur economic development and access to restaurants and shopping in the area.

“We’ve got to start looking at that and having more and more people come here, and having a place where their cars are not getting towed because they parked in the wrong spot is critically important,” Bailey said.

Board member Shelley Sekula-Gibbs said she supports the idea and hopes the study will help enhance the experience residents and visitors have when they visit Town Center, as well as improve connectivity and mobility.

“I am very excited to support this, and I think connectivity and pleasurable experience and world-class amenities all will go together to make us that exceptional community,” Sekula-Gibbs said.

Before you go

Haut said the goal is also to identify optimal or potential sites around Town Center and to conduct an environmental screening.

The plan could be used to:

• Identify public-private partnership models
• Develop a plan to shop around for federal grants
