PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Safe, accessible trails and bikeways are an important part of healthy, growing neighborhoods and connect residents to healthy recreational opportunities. That's why Precinct One is investing in 1 mile of a 10-foot bikeway along on the west side of Almeda Street and between Old Spanish Trail and Holly Hall Street. 

This neighborhood investment will provide 1 mile of 10-foot wide concrete shared-use path on the west side of Almeda Road between Old Spanish Trail and Holly Hall Street. The project also includes a plaza at the intersection of the Almeda and Holly Hall Trails that will provide seating, a bike repair station and a BCycle station. Additionally, improved signage and pavement markings will keep residents safer when crossing Almeda Road to bus stops.

PROJECT BENEFITS:

Once completed, these improvements will:

  • Make walking and biking safer
  • Expand access to healthy recreational opportunities
  • Connect residents to job and appointments in the Texas Medical Center and events at NRG Park.
