Popular Post hindesky Posted June 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) It's coming down according to these diagrams. Found this PDF on council woman Karla Cisneros District H website under the "Infrastructure" link. It has way more detail than any other site I have found about the North Canal High Flow Channel Diversion. Note : ESMT=Easement. https://www.houstontx.gov/council/h/infrastructure/North-Canal-Project-2022-March.pdf Edited June 13, 2023 by hindesky 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amlaham Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Does this mean the metro bus parking will move all together? That would be a good location for a mix-use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, I think Metro stays in the remaining property, at least for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well ask if we are moving the prisons and courthouses too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean.... the metro building will be demolished, so all that will stay is the parking. Didn't think it would be weird for them to move since it will basically just be a parking lot at that point.

samagon Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 is there any news on what the resulting island will be called? maybe there won't be a name and it'll just be called "The Island"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 It's just a bit naive to think the Harris, Houston and Federal Governments would move hundreds hundreds of jail beds, a recently open Joint Processing facility and other infrastructure, away from the courts complex across the bayou. Not even worth thinking about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 "At a June 28 meeting, the Houston City Council approved an ordinance to add funding to ongoing flood-control efforts. Council members voted to approve the city entering into a second contract with HDR Engineering Inc., a nationwide engineering firm that works toward construction and environmental goals. "The council agreed to allocate $7.5 million in funds out of the city's dedicated drainage and street renewal capital fund to be awarded to HDR Engineering. With the $7.5 million allocation, the city will also increase the overall contract amount from $2.6 million to $12.1 million, allowing for more services to be provided." "This funding will allow for the design of the project to be refined, get public engagement and secure the final construction plan. The North Canal project is expected to be complete in early 2029." https://communityimpact.com/houston/heights-river-oaks-montrose/city-county/2023/06/28/city-of-houston-oks-additional-75m-for-north-canal-drainage-project/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
