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...

The only thing that didn't hold up was the actual landscaping. Edited May 7, 2019 by Luminare 3 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...

The original BB master plan that came out in 2003 was supposed to be a 20-year timeline and we basically just have the western portion done 16 years later. But this is exciting nonetheless, and yes, this is obviously something of huge magnitude which can't be expected to conform to a rigid timeline, etc., etc. Also mentioned in article - EastRiver expected to break ground in 1Q 2020 per Jonathan Brinsden of Midway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Not a Robot Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Something, I don't see being mentioned more is the complete revamping of Navigation. This would be one of the most transformative changes to a Houston street for as long as I could remember. closing 2 west bound lanes to create a greenway is something that I would never imagined Houston doing. This is a great idea and I hope it comes to fruition. 1 minute ago, Mr.Clean19 said: This could be a liability but I love the concept of incorporating workout areas like a large hill with an industrial look to this... The adult jungle gym is a bit much but properly done, this would be great for workouts and the like. This park is theoretically behind a paywall. This is how something like this can exist. I'd imagine it's nothing too incredibly expensive and memberships would be offered, but you couldn't have any of this completely public without exposing yourself to lawsuits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
