Construction on a project to fully reconstruct Montrose Boulevard from Allen Parkway to West Clay Street is moving forward, according to a Nov. 14 update from the Montrose Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone management.

The big picture: The project will turn Montrose Boulevard into a four-lane concrete roadway with a median, sidewalks, trees, signals and a pedestrian bridge as previously reported by Community Impact. 

What's new: According to a news release from Montrose TIRZ, a new set of construction improvements will run Nov. 16-22 as Montrose Boulevard is reduced to one lane in each direction from West Clay Street to Allen Parkway.

Over the next two weeks, the Allen Parkway frontage roads westbound will have an ongoing single-lane closure, while the eastbound frontage roads will only have intermittent single-lane closures at the Montrose Boulevard intersection.

A standardized worksite safety policy establishing countywide safety protocols to strengthen worker protections is now approved, following Harris County commissioners’ 3-1 vote during the Nov. 13 court meeting. Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey voted in dissent.

What they're saying: The original motion by Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis outlined various goals and key components of the proposed policy that include establishing clear safety monitoring and inspection standards to enforce compliance amongst stakeholders and workers. 

"Our goal obviously is clear: zero preventable deaths, stronger safety standards and better enforcement across every county-funded project," Ellis said.

One more detail: At an active Harris Health facility construction site in the Texas Medical Center, Ellis and Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones spoke to the media Nov. 12 about the need for the worksite policy alongside union leaders, local business leaders and contractors.

"The county makes it clear that no worker should have to choose between their job and their life," said Linda Morales, organizing coordinator at the Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation.
