TXDOT I-45 proposals take aim at historic neighborhoods north of downtown - again

Hardy Toll Road downtown also

Jay Blazek Crossley, Nov 02, 11.

The Greater Houston Preservation Alliance is urging Houstonians to comment to the Texas Department of Transportation on proposed road projects on the north side of Houston, including expanding I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, according to their email and the I-45 Coalition:

Public Scoping meetings on 11/15 & 11/17/11

TxDOT is back! Mark your calendar!!
After several years of the I-45 project being on hold, public meetings are now being scheduled by TxDOT.
• TxDOT is about to significantly change the I-45 project

• TxDOT has provided NO advance information on exactly what the project now covers

• The ONLY way to get information is to attend the public Scoping meetings scheduled:

Tuesday, November 15, 6pm – 8 pm, Jeff Davis High School, 1101 Quitman St.

Thursday, November 17, 6pm – 8 pm, Aldine High School, 11101 Airline Drive
Meetings will be in an ‘Open House’ format, so you can come & go. A short 10-minute video will be shown regarding the project. There will be informational maps shown & TxDOT will be there to answer questions. Both meetings will be identical.

If you care about your neighborhood; if you are concerned about noise, pollution and your quality of life – YOU MUST ATTEND!

Don’t let this behemoth run over our community!!
