Acres Home Mobility Study

Community Meeting:

Wednesday, October 12th, , 6-8 p.m.

Acres Home Multi-Service Center

Acres Home, we’ve heard your concerns about walkability, safety, and connectivity. We are moving forward to implement the Acres Home Complete Communities Action Plan by initiating a mobility study in your area. Help us develop the plan for safer new streets, bike lanes, sidewalks, and bus stops.

The purpose of this Mobility Study is to create a framework for considering future development plans and activities relative to the provision of safe street and sidewalk networks, alternative transportation options, and improving mobility in the area.

Mayor Sylvester Turner has charged the Planning and Development Department and Houston Public Works with conducting a mobility study to guide the ongoing development activities in the area, and to help the neighborhood implement the Acres Home Complete Communities Action Plan (.pdf).

We want your input to help us further guide the development of this framework, which could be implemented by the City, the Acres Home Super Neighborhood, or private property owners if funding becomes available. Join us at the next meeting on Wednesday, October 12th , 6–8 p.m. at the Acres Home Multi-Service Center, 6719 W. Montgomery Rd. In this meeting, we will present preliminary plans and will need your feedback on any needed improvements we may have missed and what priorities should be placed on each improvement.

Please help us better understand connectivity issues in the area by adding comments to the map, providing feedback on the proposals and/or providing comments in the forum.
