Why Is Upcoming Spur Construction A Serious Threat?
The City of Houston admits that streets throughout our neighborhood will be “at capacity” or suffer “extreme congestion” daily during Spur construction.

The anticipated traffic mess will cause severe negative impacts on health, safety, mobility, quality of life, real estate and the viability of neighborhood businesses.
