From the earlier render I once posted this should be getting a canopy and a fountain wall so I don't think this is finished yet. Don't know when it will be back open.

gene Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hey for those that go to Buffalo Bayou along Allen Parkway and park a car: Beware of car break-ins. Yesterday i was on my bike ride and noticed the areas that you can park that face the trees and not the park where the volleyball court etc, there was tons of broken glass...I saw no less that 6 spaces that had shattered glass and oddly enough new cars were parked there knowing that cars are being broken into. So to clarify the location, if i am on the bikepath along Buffalo Bayou heading east towards downtown on Allen Parkway just before the large park with the volleyball court on my left, there are lots of spaces to park that face the slightly secluded rose bush rest area and trees etc and that is where these crimes happen. I am betting when i ride by today all the glass will still be there...maybe more from the new cars that continue to park there. While parking is limited, if i got out of my car to tons of broken glass, i would think twice before parking there...but whatever 🤔 Just fyi... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you park in any of the lots along the BBP there is glass everywhere. Also over by Spotts park and Cleveland park. Just don't leave anything out in the open in your car and you'll be fine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I don't understand why more people don't use Lot H. I haven't wanted to get to BBP in a while, but that was my free parking of choice for BBP. I guess if you want to be close to a specific area of BBP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Saw the Van and Sons Drilling crew doing core samples at the southwest corner of the Jensen St. bridge next to the bike trail. Worker said they have been drilling along both sides of the bank all around the area. For that reason I think this is Buffalo Bayou Trail related, he didn't know what was being built here though. I've seen this company drilling core samples all around Houston, they did the Texas Tower, 3615 Montrose, 1920 W. Alabama and countless other sites. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 hopefully something will be named after him in this city, other than helping to grow Enron (which he left in 96) he has done a lot of really great stuff for Houston. it probably mentions it in the article on click2houston, but there's a total of $310,000,000 federal, local, and philanthropic money (which includes Kinder). if I am reading things right, this donation put them over the threshold to start the project. it's kind of obvious, but this plus east river, east end is is going to lose the status as an affordable inside the loop option. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
