I haven't heard any movement on it since last year: The site superintendent at the Randall Davis River View apartments said he has seen workers near the north bank of Buffalo Bayou right by his site. I told him who they were and what is planned. I'm guessing they were probably surveying the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidCenturyMoldy Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Standard on the River, East River, River View. All these years (decades, really) in Houston and I never knew there was a river. Don't know how I missed it. 😮 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how I missed it. 😮 Since the headwaters of rivers originate in mountains, the source of the elusive river in question must be that well-known local peak, Mount Houston. ;-) Or maybe it's only visible to non-natives.

JJxvi Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 FYI Buffalo Bayou is a river. A river is a natural freshwater stream that flows on land or inside caves towards another body of water at a lower elevation, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. In usage in the Southern United States, a bayou is a body of water typically found in a flat, low-lying area. It may refer to an extremely slow-moving stream, river (often with a poorly defined shoreline), marshy lake, wetland, or creek. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, I described to some East Coast friends who had no idea what a Bayou was as a "slow-moving river", and they were able to get what that meant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlaham Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 What are the odds that the huge junk yard directly across the bayou (Proler Southwest) will move out of their property? The area looks like its headed into its prime and they have a huge waterfront lot in the middle of all this development, would be great place for an entertainment complex/ a space people could utilize.

I talked with a guy that works for Buffalo Bayou Partnership at the presentation they had a few weeks ago who said that if the price is right Proler would leave since they have other scrap yards in the Houston area. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted Sunday at 07:46 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:46 AM (edited) On 8/28/2024 at 7:19 AM, hindesky said: The Buffalo Bayou Partnership unveiled an ambitious plan two years ago to extend Buffalo Bayou Park into Fifth Ward and East End. The reveal was accompanied by a $100 million gift from the Kinder Foundation, which supported BBP's 10-year master plan for Buffalo Bayou East. Since then, the organization has been quietly working behind-the-scenes to produce walking and biking trails, parks, a ball field, entertainment venues and affordable housing for those neighborhoods. On Wednesday, BBP leadership shared "Buffalo Bayou East: A Progress Report to the Community" with updated information, project timelines, new renderings and three invitations for the public to celebrate and see the 10-year master plan's progress. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/article/buffalo-bayou-east-renderings-19725951.php On 8/28/2024 at 8:40 PM, hindesky said: On 8/28/2024 at 8:49 PM, hindesky said: Trails will be 13' wide instead of 10' wide, lighted with benches and trash cans.
