Design work underway for paving, drainage Officials with the Houston Public Works Depart- ment are working through the design phase on a paving and drainage project on more than a dozen streets around the Gray and Taft street corridors. The big picture The $8.2 million project involves the design and construction of concrete paving with storm drain- age, curbs, sidewalks, driveways, street lighting and underground utilities. The construction phase is not slated to begin until the fall of 2025 and will run through the spring of 2029, according to HPW information. Zooming in Edward Quiroz, engineer of record on the project, said plans call for building a two-way protected bike lane along Taft Street within the project’s limits, from Gray to Welch streets. A

bike lane will also be installed along O’Neil Street, which cyclists will share with vehicle traffic. Because of narrow rights of way in the project area, Quiroz said plans call for changing a number of two-way streets to one-way streets, including many streets east of Genesee Street. The project calls for improving the pedestrian realm by installing sidewalks of up to 5 to 6 feet in width, Quiroz said.
