  • Share Hi. Can you address the issue with the heavy load trucks going through neighborhood streets again (fowler, parker, patterson, etc) ? I submitted this question last year and you guys responded quickly to address it and we very much appreciated it. We noticed recently those truck drivers starting to use our small neighborhood streets again which cause a lot of noise, unsafe condition for kids/dogs, and damaging the streets (cracks/potholes). Today is especially bad as the trucks have been buzzing down our streets all day since 7am. those trucks should avoid neighborhood streets and just use Washington and Shepherd. Please ask construction manager/trucking manager to address this concern. on Facebook Share Hi.

    Howdy Neighbor! The contractor has to perform work activities on the cross streets between Shepherd Dr and Parker St starting from Dickson St right up to Washington Ave, for installing the storm and sanitary sewers, placing lime stabilized subgrade, and paving with concrete or asphalt. To perform these activities the Contractor has to excavate and move the excavated material to the laydown yard and bring material to the site. These load trucks may have to move through Parker St or the other smaller side streets, with the intersection of these streets at Shepherd Dr not being accessible, due to the construction activities at times. At present Dickson and Lillian streets are closed at Shepherd Dr, perforce the Contractor has to move the loaded vehicles on the smaller streets. However the Inspector has asked the Contractor to minimize the movement of the construction equipment/load trucks and if possible to avoid using the smaller side streets for moving the loaded trucks between the work site and the laydown yard.

    Thank you for your question. There will not be a traffic signal at the Shepherd/Durham/Dickson intersection. There will be a new crosswalk that will assist in addressing safety concerns.

    The City has recently completed a study for the section of the roadway between the two projects (from I-10 to Washington) to connect them. However, at this moment there are no programmed funds for the design and construction of the project. The City is continuing to explore funding opportunities/sources for it.

    HPW shares your interest in making bikeways as safe and comfortable as possible. As projects move from planning through design and ultimately implementation, design standards frequently evolve, and HPW works hard to incorporate updated design standards whenever possible. Bikeway designs, in particular, have evolved substantially in Houston as national and international best practices are adopted and accepted into local design standards. In this case, this section of Shepherd/Durham was designed and budgeted several years before physically separated bikeways were common practice in Houston. Modifying the design at this point would require substantial changes to the roadway design and construction budgets and therefore cannot be accommodated at this time. Future improvements to the bikeway may be possible with a separate project.

  • Share As you may know, the TIRZ is rebuilding Shepherd/Durham from 610 to I-10 and will be adding bike lanes which are physically separated from the street. It makes no sense for the city to put in bike lanes on Shepherd/Durham from I-10 to Memorial which are unprotected. Cyclists do not use unprotected bikes lanes and drivers do not respect them.

    Thank you for your question. The budget allocated for the Shepherd and Durham project was $12,023,470. 10.3 million is the bid submitted and accepted from the contractor to complete construction.  Unfortunately, all details within the scope of the project mostly will not fit on the signage. The public engagement team is tasked with hosting public meetings to engage with the community regarding the improvements to their neighborhood. Please visit the project webpage at www.engagehouston.org/shepherdanddurham for more information and there you also find the recording of the community meeting hosted on July 29, 2021.

    We anticipate improving the level of service at the signalized intersections will also improve mobility for vehicular traffic.
