Mayor Pro Tem Cohen and her colleagues approved the $17M final allocation of matching funds for the Bayou Greenways 2020. Over the past seven years, through a public-private partnership with the Houston Parks Board, our city has realized the vision of connecting nearly 160 miles of hike and bike trail greenspace along Houston’s bayou corridors. The project is on-schedule and, when completed in 2020, over 3,000 acres of greenspace will have been created and connected.
