Heights Public Library/ Heights Blvd @ 13th Street

Eureka Trail Walking Tour
Saturday, May 3
5 to 7 pm

Eureka Trail Habitat Walking Tour starts from 2800 Sherwin. Look for the latched but not locked pedestrian gate in the green wooden wall behind the striped barricade at the end of street.

RSVP: SuperNeighborhood22@yahoo.com

TxDOT has indicated their intention to clear cut most of the M-K-T habitat this September. TxDOT has separately said there is still time to change their plans and they are obligated to restore what they destroy. Efforts to gain support for design adjustments that will preserve the habitat and implement wet bottom channels in two of the three planned channel sections remain important. You are invited to attend the M-K-T Eureka Trail workshop this Saturday afternoon. A habitat tour will also take place onsite afterwards.

The workshop offers a forum to discuss detention channel design, access, controls, alignment, landscaping, environmental and maintenance features for the M-K-T corridor between White Oak Bayou and Hempstead Highway. Presentations and displays are planned to bring interested parties up to date on the City of Houston and TXDOT responses to community requests regarding the trail development and the highway storm water detention channel recently planned by TxDOT.
