Revolutionizing Mobility: Westpark Tollway Corridor Enhancement Project

The City of Houston, Harris County, Fort Bend County, and METRO have joined forces to initiate multi-modal enhancements covering over 16 miles along the Westpark Tollway Corridor. The strategic partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony, includes key signatories such as Commissioner Lesley Briones, Mayor Sylvester Turner, Judge K.P. George, and Metro Board Chair Sanjay Ramabhadran. Commissioner Briones highlighted the project's significance, emphasizing deep community engagement and a commitment to deliver transformative transportation options.

The project signifies a pivotal step towards creating a seamlessly integrated mobility system, fostering economic development, and improving the overall quality of life for residents as the region experiences rapid growth.
