Let's create a better Washington Avenue for all! The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) has established a partnership with The City of Houston to develop a corridor mobility plan for Washington Avenue. Project overview below. The third public meeting was held on June 23rd at St. Theresa Catholic Church's Fellowship Hall. Thank you to all who attended!
Washington Avenue Corridor Study: Design Options
All prior input was considered in the development of the alternatives.
There are many things that will be included in all alternatives:
Operations
Operational and intersection improvements
Maintain access for EMS and Fire to all properties
Additional signalized intersections and safe crossings
Parking management (ie. structured parking)
Signal timings appropriate for all ages and abilities
Access
Access management (ie. driveway consolidation)
ADA accessible sidewalks
Wayfinding and parking signs
Quality
Pavement quality
Drainage
Lighting improvements
Burying of utilities
Click hereto see the boards presented at the public meeting to learn more about each alternative option. Click here for the PDF presentation from the in person meeting. After the meeting, a video will be posted. Please use the Q&A function below if you have any questions. Round 2 Engagement Meetings were held March 6th (in-person) and 19th (virtually). The design alternatives survey closed March 25, 2025.

Project Overview
The Washington Avenue Corridor Study (WACS) guides short and long-range transportation reinvestments. It will encourage development of multimodal transportation options, increase safety, improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve air quality. WACS will maintain the historic character of the corridor and foster a thriving, sustainable, and livable neighborhood.
A critical component of this study is safety analysis. The majority of the corridor is considered a component of the City of Houston’s “High Injury Network”. There are limited locations for safe pedestrian crossings along the corridor. The study will conclude with a prioritized list of recommended improvements and implementation strategy. Recommendations will offer equal emphasis on all modes of transportation and offer alternatives prior to final recommendations. Click here to learn more about the existing conditions on the corridor.
