Memorial Drive Bike-Ped Study

This study will establish recommendations for improved multimodal infrastructure in the Energy Corridor District. The primary corridors include Memorial Drive between State Highway 6 and North Eldridge Parkway, and Grisby Road between State Highway 6 and Westlake Park Boulevard. Potential improvements include high-comfort bikeways, enhanced and new sidewalks and trails, intersection safety improvements, transit stop enhancements, improved landscaping, and drainage upgrades. In addition to the primary corridors, this Study will look at opportunities for improved connections to nearby destinations including residences, offices, commercial areas, schools, and public parks.

This project is a collaboration between the Energy Corridor District and the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC). All residents, employees, and visitors to the area are encouraged and welcomed to engage and provide input on the Study. There will be a public meeting around mid-February for community members to share their experience traveling in the study area. In May, a second round of public engagement will provide an opportunity for community members to weigh in on recommendations. A final report will be available around the beginning of September. Recommendations will include near-term and long-term mobility projects, as well as implementation and funding strategies.
