The work frees up 16 acres of land in a location where land values could approach $5M/acre. If only there were a way to reconcile these two things. I believe the plan is to keep it all park... however maybe there will be some awkward slices that make more sense to sell. I always would prefer park land.

How much of that land is above the 500 year floodplain, I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a funny story, but I was taking photos for a friends engagement here yesterday morning (the actual down on the knee engagement). And to our surprise they were doing some heavy jackhammering. Luckily one of the tour guides from the Cistern was able to get the crews to stop for a few minutes so he could get through the question. Interestingly enough, the people at the cistern weren't even told what the construction was for. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything within BBP (outside maybe the park above the cistern) is going to flood whenever we get tons of rain. Buffalo Bayou is the main drainage channel for much of the area's waterways and storm runoff. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CaptainJilliams Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) This was posted today as a story on the Buffalo Bayou Park’s Instagram page. Looks like the work will be split into 7 phases to minimize disruption for park users. Some areas/paths will close down temporarily.

Angostura Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 First of all, kind of cool that there's a tunnel under the RR tracks between the warehouses and barge terminal. Second, I think the key word is "conceptual." BTW, the warehouse in the upper rendering looks to be near Turkey Bend, Navigation @ Norwood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) I am scared of that rendering... Why in the world is that lady running TOWARDS the attacking birds killing those innocent park goers on the mountain!!!??? I mean i am definitely proud of her bravery but with all that bare skin, those birds are sure to peck her to death! I would at least wear a well covering cape or something 😮 Ps...i think the artist's 5 year old drew that jungle gym in purple marker without him realizing it and turned it in... i hope he didn't get fired but likely he did sad Edited October 25, 2019 by gene 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
