Contact Elected Officials

KEY POINTS:

  • You oppose the Texas Department of Transportation's plans to build elevated service roads on Interstate 10 between Washington Avenue and Patterson Street in the city of Houston.
  • You are a citizen, representative of a civic organization, homeowner and landlord/renter, business owner in this area with concerns regarding this project.
  • Your specific concerns are the following:
    • The 10-day comment period is too short. TXDOT public involvement process fails to inform over 99% of the people affected by the project. The 10-day public comment is unacceptable and must be at least 90 days.
    • TXDOT must send letters to ALL residents within the adjacent neighborhoods affected by the expansion of highways and related infrastructure.
    • Environmental Justice dictates that the work done with federal funds should not discriminate against any particular group of people.
    • Current plans show no consideration for the economic and environmental health of nearby residents.
  • Thank you!
