Council directs staff to seek pricing and partner outreach for Cravens Road repairs
Summary
Council members highlighted safety concerns on Cravens Road and directed staff and legal counsel to draft courtesy letters to other jurisdictions and to gather preliminary cost estimates to potentially include the road in upcoming resurfacing and drainage projects.
Councilmember Guerra brought forward recurring safety concerns about Cravens Road on Aug. 5, asking the council to add the stretch to the list for planned street renovations rather than wait for a later project. Guerra and other council members noted the corridor involves multiple jurisdictions (Stafford, Missouri City, Harris County and the flood control district), which complicates project delivery but does not eliminate the need for coordinated action.
Council directed legal counsel to prepare courtesy letters to the other entities and asked Mr. Jones (or a city engineer) to prepare preliminary pricing so the council can identify whether existing EDC or city street funds might cover the work. The EDC president said corporate funds may be available for commercial-area streets subject to eligibility, but a specific cost estimate is required before the council can reallocate priorities.
A motion to draft intergovernmental outreach and gather cost estimates passed; staff will return with legal letters and an engineer's preliminary scope and pricing for council consideration.
