West Road Phase 3 Landscape

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.

Cutten Green Park Northwest Harris County MUD No.6

This project was the second phase of parks implementation outlined in the District's Parks Master Plan, which was completed by EHRA in 2007. Utilizing the site of a recently demolished former wastewater treatment plant provided an opportunity to create a passive park space for District residents.

Greens Bayou Trail Phase 3

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.

Harris County MUD 500 Horsepen Creek Regional Lift Station

EHRA designed an expansion that implemented the installation of a new triplex lift station operating in conjunction with the existing duplex lift station.

Meridiana

The purpose of this project was to convert the existing at-grade crossing of Brazoria County Road 56 (CR 56) and State Highway 288 (SH 288) into a diamond interchange that includes a new overpass bridge and providing access to the newly developed Meridiana Development. Coordination with TXDOT, area landowners, utility companies, and Brazoria County was integral in obtaining approval and acceptance of the project. The main design challenge for this project was to accommodate double intersections on the west side of SH 288 to tie into existing access roads with two-way traffic and a new southbound on-ramp within a close proximity. EHRA coordinated with TxDOT throughout the project from preliminary concepts for the intersection and bridge through final design and construction. Each component of this project was designed in accordance with TxDOT standards and criteria.

WHA Releases Flood Plans

Admin

The West Houston Association (WHA) has released a flood control plan. As news reported, many people in neighborhoods such as Fleetwood flooded not because of Hurricane Harvey, but because of the Barker Reservoir release. According to WHA, the current plan on the books has been in place since 1940 and while it is viable, it was never completed and WHA wants to fix that. The association proposes to restore Barker/Addickes Reservoir, build a third reservoir on Cypress Creek, increase storm water conveyance and include massive home buyouts. In order to accomplish this, they hope to have a $ 2.2 billion flood control bond on the books by May. According to WHA, it would amount to around $8 per month for the average homeowner. Many homeowners are agreeable and simply want to be dry.
