EHRA completed a site-specific planning and visioning study for the proposed 470-acre San Jacinto Boulevard District (SJBD) in Baytown, Texas.
Identified as a top priority during the development of the District’s Parks Master Plan, this portion of trail was the first phase of over two miles of planned trails to provide connectivity and recreation for District residents.
In 2006, Caldwell Companies sought to create Towne Lake as a community where residents and services could be connected by water. Their vision included boat docks and marinas augmenting traditional walking trails to navigate a vibrant residential community. EHRA was the perfect partner to take Caldwell Companies’ vision and create this livable suburban oasis.
A 720-acre gated master planned community located off Telge Road, just north of Willow Creek. See how EHRA was involved in this project.
EHRA worked with the District to create a comprehensive Parks Master Plan, which included recommendations for the development of over two miles of hike/bike trails adjacent to local streets, and within flood control and utility pipeline easements. The District began implementation of the Plan by prioritizing the beautification of West Road, a major arterial street that runs through the District.
What exactly is a MUD? A Municipal Utility District (MUD) is a governmental entity created to provide residents with affordable priced housing, reliable infrastructure, and quality communities. MUD’s are composed of a five-member board, first selected by the TCEQ then later, members of the community. There are 958 MUDs in the Houston and Greater Houston area. There are 3 primary functions of a MUD: 1) water 2) sewage, and 3) drainage.
Quality Community Alliance of Texas (QCAT) offers resources to the public that educate, clarify and communicate the roles, functions and benefits of Texas utility districts, and how they enhance the quality of life for residents in their communities.
