Price Of Progress?

Callie's been digging a little bit, and has discovered the city is considering an ill-advised plan to route traffic through minor east-west passages that traverse the Montrose area, which will require largely gutting said passages and properties all along the way.

It's very important, after all, to keep the suburbanites who live and pay taxes in Fort Bend County (but commute to downtown Houston to work) moving smoothly. And it's very important for property owners and businesses in Montrose to do their part to support that lifestyle.

Right?

I wonder if Barry Klein will be all over this one? Or if it will interest Boy Blunder Michael Berry, who actually lives in the area (though it might take time from his very busy mayoral campaign)?
