	Final Back of Curb Work Being Installed

Westheimer between Kirby and Shepherd. 

Brick work along the south side of the road is nearly complete. Final paver installation along the recessed tree grates will continue this week. Landscaping and restoration efforts will also continue over the coming week. 

Final private utility connections is being undertaken over the next few weeks that will allow the overhead poles to be removed. Once removed, the contractor will replace the asphalt block-outs with new concrete and brick work. This process is currently in permitting at the City. 

Crews are also preparing to begin surface improvements on Persa and Peckham street as well due to severe pot hole damage adjacent to the Westheimer project site. This is a partnership between the City of Houston and the Upper Kirby Redevelopment Authority to address a serious surface issues that have been exacerbated by public and private area construction over the last few years. Work here should begin in May.

Roadway reconstruction, storm drainage improvements and pedestrian amenities will continue west of Kirby later this year. The project has not yet been bid for construction as Upper Kirby is waiting on AT&T to complete design of their underground facilities so that the overhead utility poles can be removed. It is estimated that their work could be complete by late spring allowing construction to begin on the roadway early summer.

Look for further updates as this schedule is finalized.
