Draft Alternatives and Community Feedback
Using feedback previous community workshops and written comments, the City and its technical team have developed alternative designs to improve and change TxDOT’s North Houston Highway Improvement Project. These alternatives were presented for feedback at three community workshops held January 30, February 1 and February 3. You can view the materials from these meetings below.

Community workshops were held in three locations in mid-August and were hosted by the City of Houston’s Planning Department, with technical assistance provided by Huitt-Zollars and University of Houston’s Community Design Resource Center. This effort is being generously supported by the Houston Endowment and the Houston Parks Board.

These discussions will aid the City and its technical team as they develop alternative designs and make recommendations for changes to TxDOT.
