Storm surges and flooding in this region poses two grave risks: 1) Serious environmental contamination, and 2) huge shortages of petroleum products. As a result of Hurricane Ike in 2008, 500,000 gallons of crude oil were spilled causing $29 billion in damages. A group of universities and partners have led the planning for the "Ike Dike" a defensive barrier designed to protect this key area. The project would extend an existing sea wall, construct a 17 ft revetment near the beach and add flood gates. Gates and barriers would likely be modeled after those at use in the Netherlands' Delta Works project. The project is estimated to cost $15 billion and has been stalled due to lack of funding. On 05/16/2018, US Senator John Cornyn introduced legislation that would expedite feasibility studies for the project and a coastal spine that would protect Houston and the greater region. | 2349993 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-95.3694, 29.7602]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||

To support the initiative, the city has established a dedicated, pay-as-you-go fund to maintain the infrastructure and to plan upgrades to meet future needs as the city grows. Since the start of ReBuild Houston, the Public Works and Engineering Department has reconstructed 349 miles and rehabilitated 573 lane miles. In all, ReBuild Houston is responsible for more than 900 miles or roadway improvements across the City. The Fiscal Year 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan allows funding of $63 million of the $100 million commitment between the City of Houston and the Houston Parks Board for the Bayou Greenways Initiative. Previous appropriations equal $37 million. The Houston Parks Board has committed $88 million of $120 million matching funds for the Bayou Greenways Initiative, which is being invested in linear parks land, design and construction. PWE with funding from ReBuild Houston plans to: 1) Rehabilitate or reconstruct more than 483 miles of roadway; 2) Place more than 1.3 million feet (246 miles) of sidewalks throughout the City; 3) Add more than 20,288 feet of on-street bikeways and off-street trails; 5) Add 1,025 curb ramps as part of its safe sidewalks program; 4)Make 154 miles of storm water drainage improvements; 6) Build 4,663 storm water inlets; 7) Add 8 acre feet of in-pipe detention which will hold more than 2.6 million gallons of storm runoff water. http://www.rebuildhouston.org | 2349993 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-95.3694, 29.7602]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||

When complete, Houston will have added more than 3,000 acres of new and equitably distributed green spaces that can also serve the function of flood control and storm water quality enhancement. We will have also completed 80 new miles of continuous all-weather hike and bike trails that will meander through those greenways — an amenity unparalleled in the nation – that will provide a total network of 150 miles of greenspace and trails crisscrossing the city. When the project is complete, approximately 60 percent of Houstonians will live within 1.5 miles of a Bayou Greenway. There are numerous other benefits associated with utilizing our bayou corridors for green space and recreation: 1) Reduced doctor visits due to increased access to recreation opportunities; 2) Increase in use of alternative transportation for commuting along the hike and bike trails; 3) Increase in property values along the corridor resulting in increased revenue to the city; 4) Increased flood prevention due to the opportunity for wet-bottom detention areas in the newly created green spaces; 5) Increased water quality due to the simple plantings located strategically along the bayous, the wet-bottom detention ponds, and reduced runoff; 6) Increased air quality due to increased CO2 sequestration by newly planted trees and grasses, and use of trails for alternative transportation; and 7) Change in Houston’s image to attract the best and brightest to our city. http://houstonparksboard.org/bayou-greenways-2020/2020/ | 2349993 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-95.3694, 29.7602]} | 2019-10-16T18:32:22.947 | |||||||
