METRO quietly rescinds plan to construct McGowen bike lane

By Janet Miranda | www.chron.com

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said the bike lane remains under evaluation, but there are no immediate plans to construct the lane.

A popular bus route that links downtown to the MLK Health Center in south Harris County will no longer include bike lanes, according to a Metropolitan Transit Authority spokesperson.

The 54 Scott BOOST project is supposed to revamp a total of 11 miles between downtown and the MLK Health Center, with new updates to its bus stops, ramps, sidewalks, and bike lanes.

Who’s cleaning Houston’s bikeways?

BikeHouston Email Newsletter

Members of Gear Shifters, BikeHouston’s corps of volunteer advocates, took some time this past weekend to remove a tree that had fallen on the Buffalo Bayou Greenway east of downtown.

Unfortunately, this won’t be the last bikeway our intrepid volunteers tackle this year. The City of Houston is no longer keeping up with its commitment to clear debris from on-street bikeways: Houston Public Works quietly decommissioned the Space City Sweeper earlier this year, and Mayor Whitmire’s FY2025 budget does not appear to include funds to replace it. So until our elected leaders come up with a new way to maintain this critical transportation infrastructure, we’re going to have to take care of it ourselves.
