Parks and trails shape the lifestyle of a community by bringing residents together. Well-designed trails and amenities promote walkability, encouraging people to incorporate movement, time in nature, and connection into daily routines. McClendon Park offers something for everyone, with playgrounds, sports fields, trails, and a splash pad for family fun. Visitors can explore paved or granite trails, fitness stations with health and history insights, or the Wetlands Garden and boardwalk. Educational features like the xeriscape garden highlight water conservation, blending recreation with learning. Community movie and craft nights bring neighbors together, making the park a hub for connection and wellness!

This morning, our Flood Control & Drainage Committee is taking a closer look at the Brookshire-Katy Drainage District’s proposed bond program and the projects it could deliver across this rapidly growing part of our region. The discussion included regional detention, channel improvements and projects designed to increase drainage capacity as development continues west.

Flooding doesn’t stop at city, county or drainage district boundaries. Building a more resilient region requires coordination across jurisdictions and investing in infrastructure alongside growth. That’s a big part of what we mean at WHA when we talk about 'Leadership in Quality Growth.'

Gessner Road is a key transportation corridor in West Houston that crosses bayous and major freeways while connecting people to major economic hubs like Memorial City and Westchase District. Gessner continues to face pressing challenges in mobility, drainage, and safety as traffic along the corridor increases.

The South Gessner Reconstruction Project, spanning from Buffalo Bayou to Richmond Avenue, aims to expand from four to six lanes, upgrade underground stormwater and utility infrastructure, and improve traffic signals and the pedestrian experience. Initiatives like this help shape a stronger, more integrated transportation network for our region. WHA supports forward-thinking mobility solutions that prioritize safety, connectivity, and long-term resilience through thoughtful infrastructure planning.

Under the Chairmanship of Billy Burge, WHA merged operations with the Northwest Houston Association in 1988. This merger expanded WHA’s area of impact, resulting in a new development map with extended boundaries to incorporate additional area. Our boundaries grew from Gessner to Bunker Hill on the east, Katy to Brookshire on the west, and the 290 corridor and Hempstead on the north!

This year, WHA’s Regional Mobility Committee will recognize two projects through its Mobility Excellence program: Harris County Precinct 4's Sidewalks 4 Precinct 4 Initiative and Harris County Precinct 3’s Memorial Drive Roadway Improvements Project.

While addressing different aspects of the regional transportation system, both projects demonstrate how thoughtful planning, collaboration, and strategic investment can strengthen mobility and support quality growth across Greater West Houston.

Sidewalks 4 Precinct 4 is addressing pedestrian network gaps across a large and diverse area, with over 100 miles of pedestrian infrastructure planned by the program’s conclusion. The initiative is creating safer connections to schools, parks, transit, healthcare, businesses, and employment opportunities.

The Memorial Drive Roadway Improvements Project took a different approach, rehabilitating 2.7 miles of an established corridor while maintaining its existing configuration and character. The project extends the roadway’s useful life while preserving access for residents, businesses, schools, transit, and emergency services.

Smart land planning does more than shape a neighborhood – it can create lasting value for both developers and residents.

Clustering allows developers to use land and infrastructure more efficiently while preserving space for parks, trails, clubhouses, and other community amenities. The result? More open space, reduced infrastructure costs, and connected neighborhoods designed with residents and long-term value in mind. 🏡🌳

How do we prepare Greater West Houston’s water, wastewater, and flood infrastructure for continued growth?

Today, WHA’s Rising Leaders Class 11 examined the interconnected systems that manage stormwater, provide a reliable water supply, and safely handle wastewater. The conversations covered detention and conveyance, flood resilience, emerging water challenges, and the opportunities and needs facing the future of our region's water infrastructure.

Thank you to Michael McCarthy, P.E. of Quiddity, Melinda Salazar of BGE, Inc., Inc., Mike Thornhill of Si Environmental and the West Harris County Regional Water Authority - whcrwa, and Taylor Reed, P.E. of Vogler & Spencer Engineering for sharing their expertise and helping our Rising Leaders better understand the infrastructure decisions shaping the continued growth in Greater West Houston.

We also appreciate Quiddity for hosting today's session and connecting our Rising Leaders with professionals working to plan and strengthen the infrastructure our growing region is depending on.
