HOUSTON – You may have noticed a lot of roadwork by the West Beltway and Westpark Tollway in the Westchase District. Most of this construction kicked off in 2019 with the new reconstruction of Walnut Bend and then the work came on Westheimer, which carries METRO’s busiest local bus route. Most recently, a small but crucial bike connection was finished.
What used to be a narrow busted sidewalk is now replaced with a nice smooth path leading to a properly protected bike lane from the West Beltway southbound feeder into Deerwood westbound, with the ability to connect riders to Terry Hershey Park. Irma Sanchez, the vice president of projects with the Westchase District Project division, took KPRC 2′s Anavid Reyes on a ride to experience the bike lane first-hand.
