Montgomery County has removed the Woodlands Parkway, Gosling Road and Branch Crossing extensions from the major thoroughfare plan

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The three controversial road extensions, which were listed on the 2016 Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTFP), will not be on the 2021 MTFP map.

The 2021 MTFP, which updates the 2016 plan, will provide a map of proposed and existing thoroughfares and collector roads throughout each of the four precincts in Montgomery County. The interactive map indicates amendments to the previous plan, such as roads that were added, removed, realigned or reclassified from 2016 to 2021.

The study to update the plan takes into account recent and future population, employment and vehicle traffic growth; and performance of the existing and proposed roadway networks.

The updated plan will include prioritized lists of short, mid and long-term recommended improvements, funding opportunities and tiered implementation strategy.
It will incorporate findings from the Precinct 3 South Montgomery County Mobility Study, as well as the ongoing Precinct 2 and Precinct 4 mobility studies.

The three-week public comment period on the virtual public meeting website ended at noon on Friday, June 11.
