Background and Discussion:
This project is in NW Harris County, classified as a major thoroughfare with high volumes of traffic. A significant number of accidents have been reported for portions of this corridor.
Expected Impact:

This will include proposing improvements to multiple intersections along the corridor.
Alternative Options:
The alternative is to not conduct this corridor study, and consequently not move forward with any design projects eventually proposed by the study, and leave the roadway and intersections as-is with safety issues.
