Nearly two years to the day that federal officials paused TxDOT’s plans for rebuilding...
and downtown Houston’s freeway system, national and state highway leaders have come to an agreement that will let the rebuild proceed, but with numerous concessions aimed at addressing the project’s impacts on low-income and minority neighborhoods.
"We are much further along than we ever could have been, and that is the power of the federal government," she said, noting the sway TxDOT possessed before federal questions arose."The community was not listened to, and I applaud the complaints that have been listened to have led us to this agreement."
submit progress reports to FHWA, which will be posted publicly on a federal webpage dedicated to the project. coordinate detours near two schools with Houston Independent School District so plans for how children will ride bicycles and walk to school are approved and how bike access will be preserved once the freeway is rebuilt.
the national rainfall analysis released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2018 that places more of Houston in areas at flood risk. TxDOT already had agreed to do this as part of its agreements with the city and county. The change potentially could mean more flood control, such as detention ponds or channels for neighborhoods near the freeway.
Desiree Alejandro holds up a sign urging people to"Stop TXDOT" while crossing a crosswalk during a demonstration at the intersection of Polk Street and St. Emmanuel Street just east of downtown Houston on Sept. 3, 2020. The Texas Department of Transportation's plans to expand Interstate 45 between downtown and Greenspoint would close Polk Street along with negatively impacting communities north of downtown, activists say.
