Houston has approved engineering services for the Bissonnet Corridor Safe Streets Project, ABC13 reported Wednesday. The seven-mile stretch runs between South Dairy Ashford and Hillcroft. City records cited by the station show an average of 22 people killed or seriously injured along Bissonnet each year.

The proposed work includes road redesigns, sidewalks, bike lanes and additional crossings. Construction is scheduled for 2028 through 2030, rather than an immediate start.
