Plans are in the works for improving the flow, functionality, safety and aesthetics of Allen Parkway, the thoroughfare that extends the entire southern boundary of Buffalo Bayou Park. At a public meeting held on February 5, the Downtown Redevelopment Authority and the City of Houston Department of Public Works and Engineering, the entities which will fund and oversee the proposed improvements, shared preliminary plans to:
• improve pedestrian and auto safety,
• create additional parking for Buffalo Bayou Park, and
• provide better access with protected crosswalks to better serve surrounding neighborhoods and commercial development via improved intersections.
