New Westchase District Projects Approved in Harris County Comissioners Court

Irma Sanchez (far left), Commissioner Lesley Briones (3rd from right) and other Precinct 4 partners gather before Commissioners Court.

At its meeting this week, Harris County Commissioners Court approved a joint Interlocal Agreement between Harris County and Westchase District for the design and construction of Meadowglen Lane between Rogerdale and Woodland Park. The 1.3-mile road will be completely rebuilt with new underground utilities and above ground amenities, including sidewalks, pedestrian lights, custom bus shelters and landscaping. The agreement codifies the arrangement announced previously by County Commissioner Lesley Briones when she authorized $8,798,276 to the Meadowglen project under her Places 4 People initiative.

 

A second Interlocal Agreement between the County and Westchase District was also approved, which will allow the County to proceed with a feasibility study for a proposed Promenade immediately south of the Hilton Houston Westchase between Elmside and Briarpark Drives. If the study concludes that the Promenade is feasible, the District and Harris County will split the $3.5 million total cost of the project. This shared-use corridor will connect communities, green spaces and urban areas, fostering walkability and community engagement.

Speaking on the Places 4 People initiative at Commissioners Court, Commissioner Briones exclaimed, “I am excited because in total, over the 32 projects, it’s $88 million from Precinct 4 with $82 million in partnership dollars. So it’s all about leveraging to get more done for the people.”
