hindesky Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Still blocked on the north side of the bridge but the south side is open for people who live at the fraternities/ sororities complex. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Good news! The Calhoun bridge is open to the public. They're still working on west bound MacGregor just west of the bridge. They appear to be doing concrete work on that side. But the rest is clear. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChannelTwoNews Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 New Meyerland pedestrian bridge named after the late Rabbi Samuel Karff | Community Impact "State, county and local officials gathered in Meyerland on April 9 to announce the new pedestrian and bike bridge over Brays Bayou Greenway that will be named after the late Rabbi Samuel Karff. Karff served as the senior rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel from 1975 to 1999. He also advocated for civil rights, social justice and equality, according to a news release."

bobruss Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I would love to have a pedestrian bridge between Scott and Calhoun that would connect both sides of Cullen and the U of Houston. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieEric Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) To be honest, I don't understand the rationale behind this pedestrian bridge. Both Stella Link (rehabbed bridge) and Buffalo Speedway (new bridge) have decently wide sidewalks. However, to the east (where you'd anticipate more traffic due to TMC proximity) the sidewalks along Kirby and Main are ridiculously narrow and along much more heavily traveled streets.

ChannelTwoNews Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Not new, but I liked this picture of the bridge over the bayou and surrounding area at Mason Park, circa 2022. From the Chronicle's home page today I could've sworn there was a thread with photos of the construction here but can't find it.

I was wondering the same thing. I regular access the bayou trail coming from Newcastle, so I just cross at Stella Link (with young kids, no issue since they re-did it with wider sidewalks). It seems this new ped bridge serves a small community. The only other use I could think of us eventual continuity to avoid road bridges altogether. Are they going to extend the trail on the north side of the bayou west of Buffalo Speedway? If so you could stay on that trail, then cross over at this new pedestrian bridge to the south side which they are working on to continue further west. But even then (as an avid user of such trails), i don't see the overall value relative to other improvements/connectivity that could make an big impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
