Special Meeting September 19 with TxDOT about demolition of the Montrose Bridges
I received two emails from the president of First Montrose Commons. I realize that some may be dealing with flood damages at this time but I wanted to alert our community of this meeting being planned with Tx DOT about the upcoming freeway work. First email invites CCNA members to attend a meeting with TxDot concerning the closing of both Montrose bridges before and during HWY 59 construction, due to start in 2020. However, funding is available now for preparation. Second email confirms meeting date and more information Please let me know if you plan to attend.
Early in August a group of us from Neartown met with engineers at TxDOT HQ to discuss the first phase of the I-45North Improvement Project. This first construction phase involves the demolition of the two Montrose Bridges over US59/I-69 and the lowering of the freeway to the same grade as the rest of the freeway west of there. It soon became apparent that TxDOT was not aware what in important major thoroughfare Montrose Blvd is, nor had they discussed any traffic management or detour plans while the bridges are gone. Since our neighborhoods will be directly impacted – probably more severely than during the original 59 and Spur 527 construction- it was agreed to establish an ongoing dialog between TxDOT and affected Neartown neighborhoods.
I have managed to secure Rooms 106-107 at The Montrose Center (401 Branard at Bute St.) on Tuesday, September 19, 2017 from 7:30-8:30pm for the first of these meetings – a dialog with TxDOT about the Montrose Bridges. I have invited Westmoreland, Roseland Estates, Audubon Place and of course my own neighborhood of First Montrose Commons. It appears that we will have enough room, so I’d like also to invite residents from Castle Court to attend
I’d very much like to invite your residents to this important meeting so that we can all learn exactly what TxDOT plans, and perhaps find ways to mitigate the effects on our neighborhoods during the project. Please contact me as soon as you’re able to let me know if Castle Court can attend, and if so, approximately how many chairs should we set for you.
Don’t hesitate to email or call me with any questions – my cell is 832-655-5657. I look forward to hosting your neighborhood on the 19th.
President, First Commons of Montrose
