Background and Discussion:
The Scott Street at South Sam Houston Parkway East improvements project provides ADA and pedestrian accessibility near the Sam Houston Parkway. The project also includes new signalized intersection at Scott Street and Brunswick Meadows Drive to improve vehicular, ADA and pedestrian accessibility. South Sam Houston Parkway East at Scott Street is high-risk due to inadequate pedestrian infrastructure. The project includes a new traffic signal at Scott Street and Brunswick Meadows Drive, 0.41 miles of sidewalk, and upgraded signage, striping, and turn lanes.
The project is justified by the study’s findings, addressing risks like missing sidewalks and poor signalization through new infrastructure. Part of HCTRA’s Barrier Free Program, it implements countermeasures like continental crosswalks and signals to reduce crashes. Coordination with Houston, TxDOT, and Harris County, enhancing safety and mobility in a critical corridor.
