The project takes a four-lane road down to two, with the addition of bike lanes on both sides. But it's something residents said they weren't asked about.
Neighbors in Houston's Third Ward want the city to stop a construction project, which adds bike lanes, which they said they never asked for.Houston's city council members will make a big decision about a construction project in Third Ward on Wednesday. It's designed to improve drainage and safety in the area, but people who live there said they never signed on to this.
There was agitation in his sentiments on Tuesday in response to the difficult decision about what to do with the construction project on Blodgett between Ennis and Scott. People who live in the area said they want drainage improvements and wider sidewalks, but they don't want it tied to reducing traffic lanes to accommodate cyclists.
Commissioner Rodney Ellis is championing the construction and said it's intended to create a complete street that everyone can safely use. His office referred Eyewitness News to a public letter he posted acknowledging the lack of communication and the work that's already started.
