PASSEDHouston City Council · 2026-09-15

The council voted to send back to administration an ordinance that would authorize the city to acquire land (by purchase, donation, dedication, or eminent domain) across five parcels needed for a bikeway project running from Dairy Ashford Road to Arthur Storey Park. The item had previously appeared on the September 9, 2026 agenda as Item 19.

What it means for you

The referral back to administration delays a decision on whether the city can proceed with acquiring the land parcels needed to build the bikeway segment in west Houston; residents in District F are the area most directly affected.
