HOUSTON – Houston officials held a news conference Tuesday to announce the official groundbreaking to “transform Hilcroft Avenue into a safer and more equitable road,” according to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.
Turner said the city partnered with Together for Safer Roads in April 2019 to launch phase one of the Houston Safer Streets program, an initiative to make roads safer for pedestrians, drivers, cyclists and those who take public transportation.
The goal of the Gufton-area redesign is to make the area as safe as possible to those who travel in the area and to connect commuters to different areas across town, according to Turner.
