| The City of Houston and the City of Spring Valley recently decided to move forward with a project on Bingle Road to convert it from 4 lanes to 3 (one of which would be a turn lane). This project is from just north of I10 to Long Point Rd.
I asked Houston Public Works and the City of Spring Valley to pause this project, and they have agreed. There has been no public input or information given to the community. This is not how the City should conduct operations, especially when it comes to a very big project on a major street. More information to come. |
