Houston at Large

Better connectivity and extensive greenways along Little White Oak Bayou would greatly benefit Houston  - connecting the Northside in particular to the current trail network - and making Houston-at-large more livable, more attractive, more resilient, and a greater draw to companies, jobs, and talent from across America and the globe. 

Joining greenspace between disparate communities promotes community cohesion, improves access to nature, provides environmental benefits, increases property values, reduces crime, and enhances quality of life. By creating  interconnected green areas, Houston can foster more inclusive and resilient

communities where residents can thrive.

Furthermore, in an increasingly interconnected and mobile global economy, talented young people have a  wide variety of choices in terms of which city to make their home.

The Parks By You and Bayou Greenways initiatives have already shown that bayou greenways, connectivity and access make Houston a more attractive city to  innovative people from across the world.
