1 Mandell Street Improvements project Project: The project aims to enhance safety and walkability for pedestrians by replacing existing sidewalks with new 5-foot sidewalks and ADA- compliant wheelchair ramps, improving the asphalt roadway surface and enhancing lighting. Signage will also be replaced as needed. Update: The design phase is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2026, with construction tentatively scheduled for early spring. • Timeline: 2026-TBD • Cost: $1.5 million to $2 million • Funding source: Montrose Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone

2 Shepherd Durham project Project: Crews are working to make improvements to the roughly 5-mile stretch of road, including adding bike lanes, 6-foot sidewalks, installing left-turn lanes and general upgrades to streetlights, stormwater drainage systems and landscaping. Update: According to project officials on Dec. 19, reconstruction for the second phase has officially begun. Construction is anticipated to be done in segments to minimize disruption. • Timeline: 2022-2027 • Cost: $115 million • Funding source: Memorial Heights Redevelopment Authority

3 I-10 White Oak Bayou Project: Raising the elevation of the I-10 mainlanes above the floodplain of White Oak Bayou, including the reconstruction of the I-10 HOV lanes and the reconstruction of the Houston Avenue Bridge. Update: A traffic switch that started Dec. 4 reduced the I-10 westbound mainlanes between the I-45 North Freeway and Houston Avenue from four lanes to two. The lanes will remain closed until mid-2026. Periodic nightly closures will also include Studemont Street and I-10 westbound. • Timeline: 2025-2028 • Cost: $400 million • Funding source: Texas Department of Transportation
