Mobility study moves forward in Montgomery County Montgomery County commissioners took a step toward a new countywide transportation roadmap Jan. 15, discussing a mobility study they said will be the first to outline a 10-year plan for the entire county. The big picture The goal is to deliver the study in 12 months 8 public meetings planned , with two in each precinct
Woodlands Parkway work to finish in April A $4.5 million project funded by The Wood- lands Road Utility District No. 1 for landscape improvements at Woodlands Parkway and Grogans Mill Road is almost completed, officials said. What’s happening? Landscape architecture firm LANDology provided updates on the projects at the Jan. 22 board of directors meeting. LANDol- ogy is performing work to landscape, regrade and address erosion and aesthetics at the intersection, and it is projected to be com- plete in April. Jonathan McMillian, founder and principal of LANDology, said as of late January, issues such as erosion and drainage have been addressed, and 1.2 acres of the lawn area have been reclaimed as forest.
The study will examine corridors countywide, with the goal of creating a plan for how the county can “program and deliver future projects” over the next decade
County Judge Mark Keough said the effort began with obtaining federal funds in October 2024, followed by a formal request in Decem- ber. He said the project was then added to the Houston-Galveston Area Council’s Unified Planning Work Program—a federally required document that outlines and budgets the region’s transportation planning work—when it was approved in April 2025. Keough said the county issued a request for proposals in September 2025 and awarded the contract to Freese and Nichols in December. The project, which kicked off in January, is expected to take 12 to 18 months to complete,

Keough said. Once finished, he said the county plans to initiate a thoroughfare plan update. More details Keough also said the study’s cost has been reim- bursed by the Houston-Galveston Area Council, state and federal partners, calling the work “a really good thing ... and it’s never been done.”
