lockmat Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Greenspoint could be getting a "lake." Ambitious plans for development around the lake, which seems like a stretch. I've always thought a walkable area is best suited for lower incomes since owning a car is so expensive. Would be nice if they could keep the developments affordable, but seems unlikely if it goes forward as planned. Although I can't imagine that area gentrifying, either. In response to frequent flooding along the Greens Bayou Corridor, SWA group was retained as part of a design team to innovatively mitigate floodwaters while also enhancing the value of adjacent real estate as part of an economic, recreational, and habitat restoration strategy. Traditionally, developmental has turned its back on the bayous and drainage ways that support our urban fabric on the Lower Texas Gulf Coast. SWA demonstrated the possible value of an urban alternative that creates high value waterfront amenities. The resulting plan links an 11 mile long trail system of interconnected parks to a major lakefront center of mixed living and recreational opportunities, while also discreetly adding additional storm water capacity as a prime, beneficial improvement." http://swacdn.s3.amazonaws.com/1/fe2a276b_greensbayoumidreachstudy-detentionbasin.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 what about that water treatment type plant facility thats right off the bayou? that would have to be relocated for the lake. obviously all the old apartment complexes would have to go for this as well..

Purpledevil Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Place it on that large parcel of property encased by Beltway 8, 45, Greens Rd., and Greenspoint Dr. and you've got a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
