Background and Discussion:
As part of Commissioner Adrian Garcia’s Revive2Thrive initiative, Precinct 2 proposed conduct a corridor study on Sheldon Road from Bear Bayou Drive to Market Street. Harris County Commissioners Court approved the
Harris County Vision Zero Action Plan on September 13, 2022. The Harris County Vision Zero Action Plan has
identified corridors and intersections on the High Injury Network (HIN) to prioritize safety improvement projects. Sheldon Road from Bear Bayou Drive to Market Street is 2.5 miles.
Expected Impact:
The Sheldon Road corridor study will include extensive public engagement; in depth safety analysis; and
concept development of an inclusive, resilient, and safe corridor. The study will provide engineering solutions for improving safety along the corridor and at intersections for all roadway users, including bicyclists and
pedestrians, who are the most vulnerable roadway users. The study will also provide preliminary cost estimates for implementing the preferred corridor concept.
Alternative Options:
Roadway improvements on Sheldon Road will be conducted without a concept developed through community engagement and analysis.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
X Economic Opportunity
