Major drainage and road projects Project Cost M118 drainage project, Lizzie Lane and Persimmon Street area
The city is investing heavily in its road network, with several multimillion-dollar projects under design or construction. Current funding includes $1.3 million for the M118 drainage project near Lizzie Lane and $2 million for Carrell and Lovett Street drainage improvements, alongside TxDOT’s $30 million FM 2920 reconstruction project, City Manager David Esquivel said. Construction on FM 2920 is expected to begin in January 2029 and be completed in January 2031, Quinn said. Additional projects are being coordinated with Harris County Precinct 3 and regional partners to improve intersections, traffic flow and flood resilience. Rogers said the city’s new budget aligns these investments with the comprehensive plan’s goals. “It’s about making sure we’re not just growing—we’re growing smart,” she said.
“Transportation is one of those things that touches everything else—our economy, our
