Meeting report, 7/16/08 - 2008/07/17 05:07
Robert Rayburn at the Energy Corridor District and his colleagues are putting together a trails master plan for a six-mile radius circle centered on I-10 and Highway 6. It clips FM529 at Highway 6 and Queenston, and gets out to Barker-Cypress Road, but the plan doesn't really reach into Cypress north of 290.
These trails would go along Bear, Langham, Dinner, Horsepen, and Mason Creeks out to the northwest and west.
It turns out several MUDS are already building trails here and there on their plots of land, but they don't necessarily connect together. The master plan would provide the intelligence and perspective to be able to hook them all together in one network, so that a bike rider (or walker) could walk down any one of these creeks and get to the Energy Corridor District, and thence into the METRO transit network to other places... Westchase, Galleria, wherever.
This West Houston trails master plan is a joint project of the Energy Corridor District and the U.S. National Parks Service. It has broad support across a variety of stakeholders. Steering committee meetings are already taking place. A public meeting will be announced by abou mid-August 2008. It will likely be an all-day affair.
