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).
