The Montrose Boulevard redevelopment plan, aimed at enhancing drainage and mobility, undergoes city hall review, prompting concerns from local businesses about potential impacts despite no official delay in the project's timeline.

A long-awaited plan to rebuild and redevelop Montrose Boulevard is on hold, as city hall reviews it, and several infrastructure projects. The project is about 1.8 miles between the Southwest Freeway and Allen Parkway. If you've seen the reconstruction of North Shepherd, remember putting light rail on Main Street, or completely rebuilding the Katy Freeway, it will be a mess. When work begins, some of the businesses along the busy road are concerned about surviving until it's finished.

Critics complain that lane-redesigns, along with replacing old and damaged sidewalks with 10-foot wide pedestrian walks, will prompt a wide collection of old growth trees to be cut down or endangered by the work.FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku, Google Android TV, and Vizio!A little further down Montrose, the 43-year-old La Mexicana restaurant, is in the path of the project's Phase-2.
