The Port of Galveston has launched its first comprehensive mobility study to ensure that people and goods continue to move safely and efficiently throughout the port and surrounding community as the port grows. Rodger Rees, Galveston Wharves port director and CEO, said: “The mobility study is much more than a traffic study.” “A key goal is creating safer, more convenient connections between the port’s cruise terminals, commercial waterfront and Historic Downtown Galveston so that visitors can enjoy all that the waterfront and downtown businesses have to offer,” Rees stated. The first phase of the port-funded mobility study will focus on the area bounded by Galveston Harbor, 14th Street, 33rd Street and Church Street, encompassing port property, downtown and nearby neighborhoods. The study will also incorporate recommendations from both the Port of Galveston and the City of Galveston Safe Streets and Roads for All action plans, for a coordinated approach.
