Background and Discussion:
Clinton Drive from Galena Manor to Crown Street located in Precinct 2 is part of the High Injury Network identified in Harris County’s Vision Zero Action Plan. The corridor is being examined for potential improvements focusing on safety and mobility. The study will include stakeholder and public engagement to seek input on infrastructure issues and potential improvements to the corridor. This project will provide professional engineering services for approximately 9,000 LF (1.70 mi) of Clinton Drive from 320’ west of Galena Manor to Crown Street. As per the request and funding from Precinct 2, the Office of the County Engineer will be conducting the study with requested consultant assistance from Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc.
Expected Impact:
This study will establish existing conditions baseline for the community, including those who live, work, and visit the area, how people move around, and the conditions that support safe, comfortable transportation in the study area. These will be used to develop an approach and initial set of opportunities to create a safe corridor in alignment with the Harris County Vision Zero Action Plan.
Alternative Options:
Failure to study the corridor for safety and mobility improvements will result in continued congestion and conflicts between passenger automobiles, refinery truck traffic, and pedestrians.
