Project Overview

The Parker Road Safety Improvement Project is currently proposed as a 1.6-mile street redesign from Fulton Street to Exeter Street in the Northline/Northside neighborhood. The project would be done in phases and addresses traffic safety concerns expressed by community members. It is aligned with the City's Vision Zero commitment to end traffic deaths and serious injuries and improve street safety for everyone who walks, bikes, uses a wheelchair and drives. The project is currently in the conceptual phase.

In addition to being identified in the Houston Bike Plan, the Parker Road Safety Improvement project aims to improve safety for all road users. This includes street redesign to slow vehicle speeds, a barrier-protected space to decrease the likelihood of drivers veering off the roadway and hitting objects, and intersection enhancements to make it safer for people walking and biking to cross the street.

    When is the city going to break ground in this project? As a community we approved this more than a year ago. Since then there have been at least 5 accidents and countless of road rage in counters.

    Thank you for raising this up. We are nearing final design on this project, which means construction will soon follow. We will update the webpage as soon as the design is complete. We will place door hangers approximately one week before construction starts. If you have any additional questions, please continue engaging with us on this Let's Talk Houston page.
