Public Works Begins Building New Sidewalk In Kingwood

HOUSTON, TX — Houston's Public Works crews began work on Monday to install a new safe sidewalk on the west side of Mills Branch Drive, between Riverpoint Village Drive and Clover Valley Drive in Kingwood.

Building the sidewalk became a priority for Council Member Dave Martin after concerned parents contacted our office requesting this sidewalk to increase safety for students attending Shadow Forest Elementary School.

Martin said he was happy to allocate $129,699 from Council District Service Funds to accommodate this request.

Construction is expected to be completed by the end of February 2019, weather permitting, according to a press release from Martin's office.

Crews will operate between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. In an effort to not impede rush hour traffic, lane interruptions and closures should only occur between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

As a result of the construction activities, please be aware of flaggers and caution devices, like orange traffic control barriers, that will be put in place on site to help with traffic flow through the construction zone.
