DETAILS The Safe Streets and Roads for All program supports Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s National Roadway Safety Strategy and the Department’s goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on our nation’s roadways. The Bissonnet Corridor Safe Streets Project will directly support the City of Houston’s Vision Zero mission, by providing resources to improve safety for one of the most dangerous corridors across the city: Bissonnet Street. This corridor is not only on the High Injury Network: Bissonnet Street accounts for the highest number of fatal crashes and the second highest number of serious injury crashes across all City-owned streets.

Will the area where Bissonnet and S Braeswood merge (just east of 59) be addressed for safety and easier lane changes?

Howdy Neighbor! The type of safety treatments that will be implemented for Bissonnet Street at South Braeswood will be based on a detailed crash analysis vehicular, pedestrian, and traffic counts to further support recommendations. Community input will also serve to inform corridor-specific issues of which crash and traffic data may not identify. Thank you and have a great dat.
