    On the Turkey Gully project, what is long term plan to align with 18th street crossing of White Oak Bayou. This is part of High Injury Network and does not have a practical pedestrian crossing.

    George asked about 1 year ago

    Howdy Neighbor! This project will address the intersection with a proposed round-about and crosswalks at 18th/TC Jester.   The eastern portion of 18th street is proposed to cul-de-sac to remove mobility conflicts at the intersection.
