After the completion of the technical analysis, field observations, consultation with District staff and Board of Directors, Harris County Engineering Department, Harris County Precinct 2, and input from the community, four projects were recommended for detailed project development:
Airline Drive from Parker Road to North Main Street
Berry Road from Airline Drive to Jensen Drive
Tidwell Road from I-45 to Irvington Boulevard
The process to prioritize transportation and mobility improvement projects included a variety of public outreach, field observations and site visits, and technical analyses. Input from the community was vital to developing this strategy and in prioritizing infrastructure projects.
• 91 individuals responded to a survey, expressing the need for pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway improvements across the District.
• 250 comments were provided on the online map illustrating where these improvements are needed.
• 36 individuals participated in walk audits along three corridors to identify issues from the perspective of those walking or rolling on the corridor.
• 68 individuals attended a community meeting to discuss infrastructure and mobility needs in the community and to provide feedback on the selected projects.
Northside on the Move was approved at Harris County Commissioner’s Court in August 2023. Several of the projects identified have already been awarded funding for implementation:
• $1M Harris County Precinct 2 Partnership project to develop a design concept for Jensen Drive
• $1.1M TxDOT Highway Safety Improvement Program for intersection improvements on Airline Drive
• $12.5M USDOT Safe Streets and Roads For All for improvements to Airline Drive, Jensen Drive, Tidwell Road, and Bissonnet Street (in the International District)
