The Houston-Galveston Area Council, in partnership with the Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation, Buffalo Bayou Partnership and the Greater East End Management District, is conducting a Livable Centers study of Houston’s historic Fifth and Second Wards. The Livable Centers program seeks to create walkable, mixed-use places that provide multi-modal transportation, improve environmental qu

ality and promote economic development. The Fifth Ward / Buffalo Bayou / East End Livable Centers study area, which is roughly bounded by Lockwood in the East, Lyons in the North, Waco/Hirsch/York in the West and Center St in the south, contains much of the eastern portions of the Fifth and Second Wards. Uniquely for the Livable Centers Program, this study is a strong collaboration between neighboring neighborhoods! The study will engage area residents and workers, government agencies, businesses and institutions in developing recommendations for improvements to the area. These can include transportation, economic development, housing choice and affordability, sustainability, open space and placemaking recommendations. The project team includes Asakura Robinson, McCann Adams Studio, Lockwood, Andrews, Newnam, Marsh Darcy Partners and the Working Partner. En colaboración con la Corporación de Renovación Comunitaria del Quinto Barrio (Fifth Ward Redevelopment Corporation), el conjunto de Búfalo Bayou (Buffalo Bayou Partnership), y el Distrito Gerencial del Gran East End (Greater East End Management District), el Comité de Consejería para la Área de Houston-Galveston (Houston-Galveston Area Council) esta conduciendo un estudio de Centros Habitables en dos barrios históricos de Houston, el Segundo y Quinto barrio. El programa de Centros Habitables intenta crear lugares caminables que se puedan usar para varios propósitos y que provean varios medios de transporte, mejoramiento a la calidad del medio ambiente, y promoción de desarrollo económico. La área del estudio de Centros Habitables en el Quinto Barrio/Búfalo Bayou/Segundo Barrio, esta mas o menos rodeada por las calles Lockwood al este, Lyons al norte, Waco/Hirsch/York al oeste y la calle Center al sur, cubre la gran porción del este del Quinto y Segundo Barrio. Únicamente en el Programa de Centros Habitables, este estudio es una gran colaboración entre Vecindades vecinas! El estudio involucrará residentes y trabajadores del área, agencias govermentales, e instituciones en el desarollo de recomendaciones para el mejoramiento de la área. Esto puede incluir recomendaciones sobre transportación, desarrollo económico, asequibilidad y opciones de domicilios, sostenibilidad, espacios o campos abiertos, y la planificación de sitios.

A group of Houstonians is working to bring a Swimming Hole to the Bayou. Would this be a good fit for the 5th and 2nd Wards?

A campaign to build a swimming hole to Houston!
