The storm sewer construction has been started for awhile now in River Oaks (Inwwod and Bellmeade) and will be headed our way after the next year starts....This 'underground' work will affect our neighborhood streets along 'Bellmeade' (from San Felipe south to Westheimer ) and the street & sidewalks along Avalon Place (from Bellmeade east to Kirby)....The traffic & parking will obviously be limited during this very necessary construction and hopefully will be completed before ROES starts in mid August 2010. The work along 'Avalon Place' is scheduled to begin in Summer 2010 (est. 30 days of work) and the work along our section of Bellmeade will begin sooner and take longer...The construction will also be along River Oaks Blvd. and along Huntingdon Place. The entire storm drainage project is scheduled for completion in September 2010. The below link shows the projected storm sewer work... If necessary you can communicate with Jody Craze, City of Houston Senior Project Manager for Storm Sewer Construction, (jody.craze@cityofhousoton.org) for more specifics.
FYI: The proposed (non storm sewer related) traffic / esplanade improvements scheduled for Kirby Drive (from San Felipe south to Westheimer) are on hold until 2013-2015 due to city budget restraints (per Upper Kirby District).
