We are still here. I am one of the new residents (May 2006) who bought in the flood plain. No regrets just yet, but the home and area were so beautiful that despite the inherent risk, took the plunge and bought our home. I truly believe that Idylwood is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Houston. Does anyone know when the bayou is going to be widened between Lawndale and Calhoun? I was initially told that the widening would begin in March 2008.

Below a clip from the April Idylwood newsletter...hope this clears up what's going on at both sides of the intersection. New Development at Wayside & I-45, the vice president of the Idylwood civic club, Tammy Cirigliano, forwarded this information passed on to her by the development company.

I had an appointment with HCB Electrical but they stood me up. No call - nothing. I called them once they were already 25 minutes late and they told me an emergency came up. I lost a day of vacation time and was not pleased. Maybe they do good work - maybe not. I will never know because I don't use companies that waste my time.

A paved sidewalk has been installed along Brays Bayou from near Mason Park to the golf course...ending just short of Lawndale. My understandings is that once wideening of the bayou commences between Lawndale and Calhoun, the paved sidewalk will be extended. We rode our bikes on the sidewalk a few weeks ago but heavy rain had made it rather muddy.
