This project was the second phase of parks implementation outlined in the District's Parks Master Plan, which was completed by EHRA in 2007. Utilizing the site of a recently demolished former wastewater treatment plant provided an opportunity to create a passive park space for District residents.
The new roadway design comprises of one-half major thoroughfare, conventional drainage, a 600-ft long bridge over Willow Fork Bayou, Retaining walls and intersection improvements at FM 1463 (including traffic signals and illumination).
Identified as a top priority during the development of the District’s Parks Master Plan, this portion of trail was the first phase of over two miles of planned trails to provide connectivity and recreation for District residents.
EHRA performed preliminary drainage area delineations for nine creek crossings and calculated approximate 100-year flows for each culvert crossing. Culvert structures were sized for each of the six crossings, ranging from 48” round pipe culverts up to dual 5’x5’ box culverts.
EHRA offered its Landscape Architectural services to complete a Parks and Trails Master Plan for the District.
The West Houston Association Tri-County Judges Forum took place Wednesday at the Houston Marriot Westchase where Judges Emmet, Hebert and Duhon gave a "state of the counties" to all in attendance. The general consensus was that the tri counties fared well considering the epic rainfall that took place in a short time brought by Hurricane Harvey. Attendee, Jim Russ, said that the audience was eager to hear what each judge had to contribute. "We appreciate all of their efforts," said Russ. "And we support them 110 percent."
