Houston's Lower Westheimer Corridor Study Pitches Mobility and Safety Improvements

"This week the city of Houston released a video of a virtual drive down what the Lower Westheimer area would look like after planned changes are made," according to an article by Craig Hlavaty.

The Lower Westheimer Corridor Study is funded by ReBuild Houston, the city's controversial drainage fee designed to fund infrastructure repair projects. According to the city's Corridor Study website, a nine-month study will help the city produce recommendations for an improved roadway design "that considers the needs of all of the stakeholders" while preserving and enhancing the character of the corridor and improving mobility and safety.

In the meantime, stakeholders and residents (and the rest of us around the country) can check out the concept visualization.
