The Grand Parkway has turned into a grand brouhaha, in north Harris County, as opponents of the segment slated to be built through Spring fear it will be fast-tracked. The Chronicle reports on a meeting state Sen. Jon Lindsay held recently with Grand Parkway supporters:
Lindsay said he is doing what it takes to get the Grand Parkway built expeditiously through the Spring area, and it may mean taking the state transportation department out of the equation. He said he is not worried it will move to Montgomery County.
“We brought the developers together to make sure everyone was on the same page,” Lindsay said. “There was some discussion about different routes and how they would affect developments, but everyone there agreed we need to do the project.”
Opponents would like to see the project rerouted through Montgomery County, something that is being studied by TxDOT now. Supporters who want to see the Grand Parkway built in Spring say the meeting was held only to gauge support for the project.
