Commissioner weighs input on Crosby FM 2100 overpass plan
Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole is to review TXDOT feedback on a proposed FM 2100 railroad overpass in Crosby after a public hearing presented three options. Residents submitted 132 comments with 39.4 percent in favor of no construction and 38.2 percent for one way roads. Amabe expects a decision in early February as business owners fear loss of customers and possible property purchases or demolitions nearby.
