Memorial Park: Transforming Houston s crown jewel
HOUSTON – A wilderness at the center of downtown Houston where people, animals and busy road traffic will coexist peacefully with the creation of the Memorial Park Land Bridge and prairie.
Traffic on Memorial Drive splits the 1,500 acre urban park space. But traffic will be diverted through two sets of massive tunnels later this year.
“They feel more like going through an overpass in scale than a tunnel,” said Randy Odinet, the VP of Capital Projects at the Memorial Park Conservancy (MPC).
Southern California officials have announced plans for a highway overpass for wildlife, saying that they aim to break ground in 2021. ABC7 has obtained some preview footage of what it might look like from Utah s equivalent Critter Bridge.
If you ve been to Memorial Park over the last several months, surely you ve noticed a lot of construction happening on the west side along Memorial Park Drive.
Before the piles of dirt and concrete were at the park, and way before Houston even existed, about 9 million acres of southeast Texas and Louisiana were covered in coastal prairie Over thousands of years ago, the coastal prairie defined life and formed the identity of southern Texas, the Memorial Park Conservancy explained in an informational video.
