Houston-Galveston Area Council, in collaboration with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, is leading Connecting Buffalo Bayou East, a concept design study to build upon Buffalo Bayou East’s redevelopment projects currently being designed and constructed. The study will focus on connecting neighborhoods north and south of the bayou to these projects, to each other, and to destinations such as Japhet Creek and Tony Marron Park.

The study will:

  • Provide implementation recommendations to extend and enhance pedestrian and bike infrastructure
  • Advance the vision of a connected network of parks, shared use paths, and public spaces
  • Highlight opportunities to enhance community connectivity, services, and amenities in the 5th Ward / Denver Harbor neighborhood near the intersection of Lyons Avenue and Lockwood Drive
