flatline Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 There's a large hole being dug at the bend in the bayou between the HPD memorial and the skate park, on the south side of Memorial Drive. Any idea what is? (I apologize in advance, I know, this post is worthless w/o pics. . .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moore713 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Really happy to see the bayou revitlaion been taking serious..I really hope the plans for the east end come to pass..if done like they propose it could make the san Antonio river walk look like a cute little ditch...if it comes out like they plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A revitalization of the bayou through Downtown could revolutionize the district. There's so much empty and underutilized space that has the potential to become an urban oasis.

ANTHONYHTOWN Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 There are plans for the east end i saw a while back where they intend to do more to the east end up to the ship channel this includes a symphony island I will try to dig in my files see if i can locate it.

Slick Vik Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 been a few years, not to say the river walk is not nice but to say the east end proposal has the potential to dwarf itThe riverwalk is 10 miles long now with bike paths along the sides. It was a long project done by the use army core of engineers with habitat restoration. Absolutely beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towerjunkie Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Those renderings for the East are absolutely amazing I truly hope they can move forward with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It's too bad those renderings are 12 years old. I really wonder what the current plan is. Hopefully they haven't changed things! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 ]I snapped this photo of the Sunset Coffee building today. It is coming along quite nicely. International Coffee House October 2014.jpg It's actually been somewhat slow: http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/1299-sunset-coffee-building-allens-landing/?p=468388 I haven't provided an update to that thread because there hasn't been any major visible changes as of yet. Maybe a few dirt mounds moved around in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few dirt mounds moved around in the front. Your photo's perspective makes me wonder how they would develop the Commerce Promenade. The buildings on the other side of Fannin and San Jacinto come right out to the waters edge. If they were to continue with that part of the project, would it require those buildings to be leveled, or would they build out the bulkhead to go around them?

Sunstar Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah those jail administration(?) facilities on this side of the bayou would have to be torn down to build the Commerce Promenade In that case, they would have to go through the land acquisition process, so I wouldn't expect this to happen anytime soon.

fernz Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I read somewhere that the Energy Corridor wants to develop their portion of the bayou (Terry Hershey park) into a "waterfront park". Does anyone have any info on this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I ride these trails almost every weekend and love them but I wonder if the contractors building them will also repair the damage their heavy equipment does to the cement trails? There are probably 3 or 4 dozen spots where this equipment cratered the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that means, but it sounds like a terrible idea. Doing something with George Bush Park might make sense though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparrow Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Buffalo Bayou Park by marclongoria, on Flickr A bit of a soapbox observation I suppose, but the city is so much more beautiful with power lines hidden from view. Beautiful shot Triton. I'm embarrassed as a Houstonian every time ESPN shows the Downtown view from the new TDECU Stadium due to the visual blight of the power lines along Scott. Opportunity missed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
