The busy roads of Briarmeadow
Briarmeadow has three main thoroughfares that split the neighborhood into six parts. Fondren Road splits the community down the middle from north to south and is connected to the other two thoroughfares. Westheimer Road and Richmond Avenue are in the northern and southern parts of the area, respectively. Westheimer Road is where the majority of the community’s shopping and dining outlets reside. “Westheimer Road has all the shops but that also means the traffic during the day can get really bad,” Says Trijo. Richmond Avenue, in contrast, provides the most access to the neighborhood’s residential sections. Bus stops line these streets to provide easy access to public transit.
Westheimer Road runs through the Briarmeadow neighborhood.
