Kingwood Drive intersection improvements could expand
Kingwood Drive-Woodland Hills intersection improvements could expand into flood-mitigation project
At its May 14 teleconference, the board of directors of the Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority and Tax Increment Zone No. 10 (TIRZ) received a significant status change on the Kingwood Drive-Woodland Hills Intersection Project. Although still in the speculative stages of development, the change could result in expanding it from a traffic mobility project to one that includes major flood mitigation.
Ralph De Leon, administrator for the authority, explained the situation as he summarized the differences between last year’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Budget (CIP) compared to this year’s CIP. One of the changes is to the planned cost to improve the traffic flow at Kingwood Drive and Woodland Hills Drive as part of the overall Kingwood Mobility Project.
