Westheimer bus, sidewalk improvements get $5M boost from feds
Rep. Lizzie Fletcher, D-Houston and Metropolitan Transit Authority officials announced Wednesday that $5 million in federal funding will go to spruce up and rebuild segments of Westheimer where Metro is bundling small improvements to make a big difference in bus service along the street.
The plans along Westheimer, one of 17 so-called BOOST corridors planned by Metro over the next 25 years, are not finalized so the specifics of what the $5 million will fund is undetermined.“It will make this a much more comfortable corridor,” said Joe Webb, chairman of the project and planning committee for the Montrose Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone.
"If you want to travel the world, all you have to do is ride the 82 Westheimer," Ramabhadran said."You will experience the cuisines and languages of the entire planet." “It’s certainly nice to have someplace to sit down,” Margarite Lopez said as she waited along Studewood for a bus Wednesday morning at a BOOST-branded stop. “I saw them rebuilding the street, so it was nice to see something for those of us on the bus, too.”Round three of repairs for Washington circle coming, along with upgraded links to Memorial Park
