North Dairy Ashford Intersection and Safe Crossing Project Improvements Underway
Energy Corridor District: Concrete Pouring on N. Dairy Ashford May 2025
We’re excited to share that visible progress is being made on the North Dairy Ashford Mobility & Safety Improvements Project, where crews officially began concrete pouring last month.
This milestone marks the next phase in our efforts to improve pedestrian mobility, intersection safety, and overall accessibility in this key intersection in the Energy Corridor. Once complete, the project will deliver smoother sidewalks, upgraded crosswalks, and enhanced safety features designed to benefit both commuters and pedestrians.
We appreciate your patience during construction and look forward to delivering infrastructure that better serves everyone who lives, works, and travels through the Energy Corridor.
Stay tuned for more updates as the project continues to take shape!

A Great Morning in the Corridor - Bike to Work Day 2025 Recap
Celebrating active commuting in the Energy Corridor
On the morning of May 15, the Energy Corridor District celebrated Bike to Work Day 2025 with a great crew of riders who hit the road in support of healthier, more sustainable commuting. — thanks to everyone who showed up, rolled out, and helped us kick off the morning with some good energy (and great coffee)!
Riders met at the Terry Hershey Park Gazebo to enjoy the trail, chat with neighbors, and grab a hot cup from Coffee Fellows before heading off to work. It was all part of Bike Month, which encourages Houstonians to rethink how we move through the city — highlighting the bike as a smart, efficient, and enjoyable way to get to work, explore the community, and stay active.
Big thanks to everyone who joined us — whether you're a daily cyclist or just gave it a try. We'll see you out on the trail again soon!
