George asked 20 days agoReady...Set...ENGAGE!
Thank you for your continued engagement with the Turkey Gully Project. We truly appreciate your interest and patience.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding the visibility of comments and project updates on the EngageHouston platform. We want to assure you that community input is valued and taken seriously throughout the life of this project.
To ensure you are aware of the most recent developments, we hosted a Virtual Community Meeting on February 19, 2026, where several key project updates were presented, including:
- The intersection at E TC Jester Boulevard, W 20th Street, and W 18th Street will be upgraded from a four-way stop to a fully signalized intersection. The roundabout alternative is no longer being considered.
- The proposed signalized intersection will include dedicated pedestrian signal phases and raised medians to improve safety and traffic operations at this location.
- Construction is currently anticipated to begin in Fall 2026, with completion expected in Winter 2028.
As the project continues to evolve, we are committed to keeping the EngageHouston project page updated with the latest information. If there are any additional changes, you will be able to find them reflected there.If you have any other questions or would like to discuss the project further, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are happy to help.

George asked almost 3 years agoHowdy Neighbor! Your comments are noted. We noticed steep grade changes at the intersection of the existing parking lot east of Discount Tire. However, we will look into it during the design process. Thank you!

Jill S asked almost 4 years agoThank you for your inquiry. The original Turkey Gully studied showed the limited right-of-way along the tributary and where there were restrictions in the flow that would limit the capacity of the tributary to carry needed stormwater. The plans will divert excess flow from the gully toward White Oak Bayou. This will also for reduced flooding impacts in the neighborhood.

Why This Project Matters
The Turkey Gully Project is a major infrastructure improvement designed to reduce flooding and modernize utility systems in the area. Here’s why it’s important:
1. Reduces Flooding Risk
By diverting stormwater from Turkey Gully to White Oak Bayou through a new storm trunk system, this project helps prevent local flooding and protects nearby homes, roads, and businesses during heavy rain.
2. Improves Drainage Infrastructure
Upgrading the storm drainage system enhances the area’s ability to manage stormwater, reducing long-standing drainage issues and minimizing disruptions during storms.
3. Rebuilds Critical Roadways
The project includes the reconstruction of roads, making them safer and more reliable for everyday use while also improving long-term durability.
4. Upgrades Water and Wastewater Lines
Replacing and enhancing water and wastewater infrastructure ensures more reliable utility service for residents and reduces the risk of service interruptions or leaks.
5. Supports Community Resilience
By addressing multiple infrastructure needs at once—drainage, roads, and utilities—this project strengthens the neighborhood’s ability to recover quickly from severe weather events.
