Project Description
Old town Tomball is primarily located within the vicinity of the Cherry Street corridor. Cherry Street also serves as the main conveyance of storm sewer for this area (north and south of FM 2920).
The south section of Cherry Street extending from FM 2920, south to Holderrieth Road has an open ditch as the drainage conveyance. During storm events, Cherry Street can be a bottle neck for stormwater and the backup of storm water does occur to major parts of old town Tomball included many residential properties south of the old town area.
This project would include the installation of storm sewer beginning at FM 2920 extending south to Hardin Road then to the existing M121 channel. Lateral storm sewers extending off this main line in Cherry Street would then help alleviate drainage problems where many repetitive loss residential homes in old Town Tomball. The proposed storm sewer would be in the right of way of Cherry Street with the installation of the storm sewer, improvements and expansion of the roadway will be needed as well. The additional benefits to improving the corridor would be the addition of needed sidewalks thru the heart of the City (on the south side).
Total Project Cost
$20 million
Estimated Start Date

Project Description
South Persimmon Road currently connects to FM 2920/Main Street and extends south to the city limits on Holderrieth Road. This corridor is an important north-south minor arterial for the eastern portion of the city and, as shown on the City of Tomball Major Thoroughfare Plan, it connects the City of Tomball’s business and technology park to Main Street/FM 2920.
Timkin Road extends from South Chestnut Road to Persimmon but it is identified to extend east to Hufsmith Krohville. School traffic is increasing greatly by expansions to Concordia Lutheran High School (private school) which uses Timkin as a main corridor for their students especially during dismissal of school and for their athletic facilities. Tomball Independent School District (TISD) has purchased the BJ Services campus (previously oil and gas servicing company campus) which will house TISD’s Innovation Center and a new elementary on the se corner of the property (construction to begin 2025).
This increase of traffic does not have clear access to enough signalized intersections to get across FM 2920 (Main St.) safely. A project widening Persimmon from FM 2920 south to Lizzie Lane will allow for additional capacity for traffic and will improve drainage conveyance for the area. The extension of Timkin, tying into Persimmon, to Hufsmith Krohville will connect the new TISD elementary school as well as provide the TISD Innovation Center more accessibility to signalized intersections.
Regionally these improvements will provide the City with a safer major north-south arterial, creating more safe capacity for school and commercial traffic. This sector of Tomball continues to develop with many residential subdivisions as well.
Total Project Cost
$28 million

3rd Quarter, 2026 (if funded)
Lovett Street, starting at Hufsmith Road, south where it changes to Carrell Street has historically experienced flooding. There are also several properties that have been a repetitive loss due to flooding. This area consists of single-family homes as well as multi-family apartments. Some of the apartments located in this area are also senior living restricted and residents may fall into low to moderate income.
The current drainage system consists of an open ditch section roadway to convey the stormwater. The outfalls to these roads split between continuing to Hufsmith Road on the north end and draining into a Harris County flood control channel on the south end.
The proposed project will install storm sewer pipe to intercept storm water flows and will provide more conveyance capacity that will extend along Lovett Street to Carrell then to the county channel. The addition of the storm sewer would be within existing roadway easement which will require repairs and improvements to the roadway.
Total Project Cost
$16 million
Estimated Start Date
1st quarter, 2024 (if funded)
Project Description
Old town Tomball is primarily located within the vicinity of Cherry Street. Cherry Street also serves as the main conveyance of storm sewer for this area (north and south of FM 2920).
The north section of Cherry Street extending from FM 2920, north is currently an open ditch section roadway. During storm events, Cherry Street can be a bottle neck for stormwater that causes storm water to backup into major portions of old town Tomball, particularly the old town commercial areas.
This project would include the installation of storm sewer beginning at FM 2920 extending north to Boggs gulley (Harris County Flood Control channel). Lateral storm sewers connecting to this main trunk line of Cherry will alleviate many repetitive loss residential homes around old Town Tomball on the north side. The storm sewer would be located in the ROW of Cherry Street and would cause the expansion of the roadway as well but also would provide for the opportunity to include sidewalks thru the heart of the City (on the north side) and connect to many sidewalks to existing school and park areas.
As a part of the project, a detention basin could be provided to serve as flood mitigation for downstream properties as well.
