Health and wellness is a growing concern

in communities across the county. Regardless of income, all residents are concerned

with issues of obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and ways to deal with stress.

Unfortunately, the effort to improve a community’s quality of life and transform itself

into a healthy one is not a simple task.

OST/South Union is a neighborhood, located in Southeast

Houston, that has joined the movement to create a healthier

community. Situated three miles southeast of downtown

Houston, between Highway 288 and Spur 5 and Brays Bayou to

IH 610, the community’s residents, leaders and health advocates

have embarked upon a campaign to transform the physical

health of its residents through a variety of initiatives addressing

wellness, arts and culture, infrastructure, safety, youth, education,

housing, economic development, and civic engagement.

The relationship between community health, resident mobility, and the built

environment are clear. However, the way to improve a community’s health is

multi-faceted. While behavior modification is important, so is a change in the built

environment that is conducive to children, the elderly, those with special needs and the

general population. The provision of traversable sidewalks and navigable streets are

simple improvements that have marked improvements on a community’s opportunity

to achieve sustainable health.

Improving the condition of existing infrastructure and building new infrastructure to

fill gaps can create access and connectivity to places of recreation, places of interest

within the community, and places of employment. Thus, it is the purpose of this 2015

Neighborhood Greenways Plan to identify the barriers to mobility and recommend actions

to alleviate those barriers and increase the opportunity for community residents to

achieve their optimal level of health.

The number of people living within OST/South Union

is growing. In 2000, the number was estimated to be 22,190. By the 2010 census,

the population had increased by 7.9% to 23,950. Based on population growth

trends over the past 20 years, the recent advent of light rail servicing the area,

and renewed private and public investments, it is anticipated the community will

continue to experience growth in the upcoming years.

The population composition is primarily African American, comprising about

88% of the total. The Hispanic population is the second highest ethnicity

comprising an overall 15.8 % of the community. In addition, there is a small

but growing number of Asian-Americans and a sprinkling of residents from all

ethnicities that reside within the community’s borders.

The OST/South Union community is diverse in the ages that reside within its

borders. Throughout the respective census tracts that make up the OST/South

Union community, the median age ranges between 28 and 47 years. In some

areas half the population is older than 47, a rate considerably higher than the

national average of around 37 years. Between 2009 and 2011, several of the

census tracts within the target area housed between 19% and 23% elderly.

The OST/South Union community houses both ends of the economic

spectrum. It has a median household income of $30,000 and

approximately 32% of the population is at or below the poverty level.

The affluent areas are located between MacGregor Way and Old

Spanish Trail. These areas have the highest median income of $45,000

to $50,000, while those residing in the central south areas, south of OST

to Freeway 610, have a median income of $15,000 to $20,000, which is

less than half of the higher median income.

In terms of its land-use character and amenities, single-family residential homes predominate, interspersed with and flanked

by numerous parcels of undeveloped and industrial land. Land along the main transport interchanges of Old Spanish Trail

(OST), Scott, and Martin Luther King Blvd. feature a mix of commercial and industrial land uses.

SEHTA was formed in October 2012 and received its 501(c)(3) non-profit status

in March 2013. SEHTA is an organization and collaboration between residents, civic clubs, business owners, and allied

stakeholders dedicated to transforming the Southeast Houston area into a healthy, vibrant, and economically stable

community. SEHTA’s goal is to achieve positive transformation using several initiatives:

• Awards from National Endowment for the Arts, University of

Houston, and other donor funding contributed to community-

based creative placemaking that employs arts, culture, history

and media to empower area residents and the arts professionals

who work with them to to affect change through well-designed

improvements to the physical environment enhanced by artistic

and cultural expression projects;

• The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (Houston LISC) Great

Opportunity Neighborhoods multi-year comprehensive revitalization

initiative to develop a sustainable neighborhood through a Quality of

Life Agreement; and,

• The National Park Service’s Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Technical

Assistance Program (NPS RTCA) designed to create a master plan

for a non-motorized transportation infrastructure that will connect

Southeast Houston to the larger citywide Houston Bayou Greenways

build out and attending bike and hike trail system, all slated for

completion by 2020

SEHTA envisions itself as maintaining an engaged and informed community. Residents and allies will work together to

transform Southeast Houston into a healthy, vibrant, safe, and economically stable community that nurtures and supports

its residents throughout their lives. Health and wellness through recreation and active transportation are key elements in

SEHTA’s focus on Southeast Houston’s transformation.

In January 2013, OST/South Union was designated a GO Neighborhood by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC).

SEHTA serves as the Steering Committee in conjunction with Neighborhood Recovery Community Development Corporation

(NRCDC) as the Convening Agency.

GO Neighborhoods is a multi-year comprehensive initiative for revitalizing Houston communities by addressing the many

aspects of developing a sustainable community; thereby making this community a good place to work, live, and raise a family.

GO Neighborhoods address specific community concerns through GO Teams. These teams work together to develop a Quality

of Life Agreement (QLA), a vision for positive neighborhood transformation drawing on an appreciation of both the strengths

and impediments to development within the area. During this process, over 300 residents, stakeholders, partners, allies, and

key community leaders all played a role in creating a strategic plan for achieving this vision.

In June 2013, over 100 residents came together to develop their vision for the Greater OST/South Union Great Opportunity Neighborhood. Residents identified the strengths of the community and any aspects of the neighborhood they would like to change or maintain. Together, SEHTA, residents, business owners, allied stakeholders, and others subsequently organized into eight GO Teams responsible for addressing specific community concerns. The GO Teams were designed to focus on economic development, family income & wealth, mobility (Strollin’ and Rollin’), safety and clean ups, education and youth, health and wellness, arts, culture, history & media, housing & neighborhoods and leadership & civic engagement.

Strollin’ and Rollin’ is the GO Team tasked with addressing the mobility and

infrastructure issues within the OST/South Union Community. More specifically, the team is committed to improving

pedestrian and bicycling connections in our community for recreation, healthy living, and mass transportation access. Strollin’

and Rollin’ strives to develop Southeast Houston into a more active community that is supported by a network of pedestrian

and bicycle infrastructures designed to increase accessibility through multiple transportation options and easily accessible

connections to neighborhood parks, schools, local establishments, historic sites, and public art locations. These connections,

supported by a vibrant biking and walking culture, will yield social, economic, and environmental benefits that will improve

this community’s quality of life, in particular opportunities for health and wellness.

Since its formation, Strollin’ and Rollin’ has been cultivating active lifestyles

and facilitating initial change conducive to a healthy community. Beginning the

summer of 2013, Strollin’ & Rollin’ sponsored bi-weekly neighborhood rides.

During the same summer, team members worked with the Texans YMCA and

Bike Houston to provide cycling information and training for 46 area youths.

These sessions were followed by a community bike ride. As a way of gaining

more in-depth understanding of the needs of the community as well as providing

a credible data resource to support further advocacy efforts, Strollin’ and Rollin’

worked with Texas Southern University on a road assessment survey, as well

as the National Park Service, Rice University’s Houston Action Research Team

(HART) program, ColorWheelCulture, and the Sankofa Research Institute on

community surveys. These efforts are the basis for the community assessment.

The street condition assessments evaluated the

presence of sidewalks in three ways: existence of sidewalks on both sides

of the street, one side of the street, or no sidewalks. An estimated 32% of

the community streets had sidewalks on both sides of the streets while

55% of the community streets had no sidewalks at all. Approximately

12% of the streets surveyed had a sidewalk on at least one side of the

street. However, a better way to understand the existing sidewalk

situations is depicted in the image to the right.

The condition of the existing sidewalks typifies what can be seen across

OST/South Union: fragmented, cracked and buckled concrete slabs.

Uneven sidewalks and those with tree roots breaking the surface are

common and are a detriment to mobility.

The condition of the existing

streets speaks more to the barriers to mobility. When

sidewalks don’t exist or are in poor condition, pedestrians

are forced to share the street with cyclists as well as

motorized vehicles, thus reducing their safety, whether

real or perceived. The accompanying photos provide the

best example of the physical condition of roads within

the community. Albeit not every road segment resembles

what is shown here, but unfortunately, the photographs

represent common sights.

KS Crosswalks around the schools and

parks are important for safety for the pedestrian and cyclist.

For schools and parks, crosswalks are expected at all access

points and are to be clearly marked. However, at many area

schools, appropriate signage and crosswalks leading to the

neighborhood are missing or in poor repair.

Connectivity gives residents ways to get

from place to place and connect with surrounding communities. While 84% of the

population uses a car to commute to work, there is still a dependence on public

transportation and other modes of travel for commuting and recreation. The OST

community has a new light rail line that runs through Texas Southern University

and University of Houston, terminating in Downtown Houston where the rider

can connect with the green and the red lines, transporting them further north, east,

and south through the Texas Medical Center.

In addition to light rail, the Southeast Transit Center and eight METRO bus lines

run throughout the OST/South Union Community and connect to other parts of

the city.

Houston’s Department of Parks and Recreation maintains 28.69 miles of multi-

use trails that link to downtown, parks, bayous and other places of interest. Two

such trails run through the OST/South Union. Brays Bayou is a 31-mile linear

trail that runs east-west expanding from Hwy 6 to Brady’s Landing. Within the

community, it runs along south MacGregor Way connecting MacGregor Park,

Martin Luther King, Jr. and the purple line to 288 and beyond. The Columbia Tap

is a 3.09-mile concrete linear trail that connects Dixie Drive at 288 to the Central

Business District. The Columbia Tap runs north-south through the community

from 288 to Brays Bayou at South MacGregor Way at Ardmore.

The presence of bike signage and designated routes are minimal within the OST/

South Union community. The city has three forms of designation: 1) shared lanes;

2) bike designated lane; and 3) bike signage, no lane. Of the 230 street segments

surveyed in OST/South Union, less than 10% of street segments had any form of

designations.

The community surveys identified safety as a barrier to mobility. Residents discussed safety in the form of street lighting and

traffic volumes and speeds. The street condition survey accounted for 100% of the streets having street light infrastructure.

What was not noted was whether the street lights were working, which was the subject of concern for residents who were

willing to elaborate on their specific safety concerns.

The most recent average daily traffic (ADT) counts available for the OST/South Union community are from 2009 and were

conducted by the city of Houston and TxDOT and focus primarily on the area’s major streets. The volumes vary depending on

the street’s proximity to highways or its role as a business corridor. Cullen, a major north-south street experiences relatively

light traffic until the segment between Yellowstone and IH 610 where the ADT exceeds 16,000. Martin Luther King experiences

heavier traffic volumes with the street segments between Griggs and OST exceeding 12,000 ADT. Of the north-south major

streets, Scott experiences the heaviest volume with traffic averaging over 22,000 between South MacGregor Way and Highway

610.

For the east-west corridors, the volumes along Griggs are divided between two sections. Griggs between OST and Tierwester

experiences relatively light levels of traffic. However, between Martin Luther King, Jr. and Beekman, the ADT exceeds 10,000.

South MacGregor Way experiences its heaviest traffic between Scott and Highway 288. Yellowstone is relatively light with

volumes at 4,500 further west and increasing to almost 10,000 ADT closer to 288.

The heaviest traffic is on OST, also known as Old US Highway 90. The ADT is at its lowest between Scott and Griggs and

exceeds 23,000 between Scott and 288.

Not surprisingly, the most traffic is found on the neighborhood’s main commercial corridors -- OST, Scott St., Martin Luther

King, Jr., and Cullen. For residents of OST/South Union that are walking and biking, this poses a challenge: these streets are

designed primarily for cars, not walking and biking. When Rice University’s Houston Action Research Team asked community

members to identify their preferred walking and biking routes, these same busy streets were identified most frequently--

highlighting the fact that residents prefer to take relatively direct routes when they’re walking or biking to stores, restaurants,

parks, and other neighborhood destinations.

The goal of this master plan is to identify alternative routes that allow OST/South Union

residents to safely and comfortably walk and bike to the community’s many destinations.

14

After the completion of the assessment and production of the mobility plan, a series of

meetings with the community, stakeholders, and potential funders/partners were held.

The purpose of the meetings was to initially present the results of the assessments and

surveys, and solicit feedback on initial recommendations. Partner meetings included:

Community SurveysThree surveys identified how residents of OST/South Union are getting

around, and what is keeping them from biking and walking more frequently.

Surveys were designed and conducted by Sankofa Research Institute, Rice

University’s Houston Action Research Team, and Strollin’ and Rollin’ team

members.

Southeast Houston Strollin’ and Rollin’ 2014 Mobility ReportThe 2014 Mobility Report is a comprehensive look at how the residents of

OST/South Union get around. This report, based on the results of these

survey efforts, shows that OST/South Union is an active community that has

embraced walking, biking, and other forms of active transportation.

The 2015 Neighborhood Greenways Plan is the culmination of these planning efforts. The

plan lays out recommendations for how OST/South Union can help residents walk

and bike more safely and more comfortably through the creation of a Neighborhood

Greenways network. This plan is meant to be a living document that can adapt and

change over time.

The 2014 Mobility Report showed that residents of OST/South Union are already leading

very active lives--walking and biking for transportation, recreation, and exercise. But it

also showed the many challenges that can get in the way of these activities and make them

difficult for neighborhood residents—from the lack of sidewalks and bike lanes, to dangerous

road crossings, to stray dogs and individuals’ personal health concerns. In creating the

2015 Neighborhood Greenways Plan, Strollin’ and Rollin’ sought to address these insights by

developing recommendations that: 1) respond to the ways that residents currently get around,

as well as how they would like to get around in the future; 2) tackle the barriers that keep

residents from engaging in active transportation and recreation; 3) connect all OST/South

Union residents to key destinations, both inside and outside the neighborhood; and 4) provide

opportunities for improving neighborhood mobility, both immediately and over time. These

“Guiding Principles” are at the heart of Strollin’ and Rollin’s recommendations.

Survey results showed a neighborhood that is already quite active. Almost two-

thirds of residents are walking every day, with a majority (61%) walking primarily

for health and exercise. This is also the case for members of the neighborhood

who bike; exercise and fun/leisure were the primary reasons survey respondents

ride their bikes. Access to transit stops and shopping were also major motivators

for both groups. Because of this emphasis on exercise, leisure, and access to

transit and shopping, Strollin’ and Rollin’ has aimed to devise neighborhood

improvements that:

• Provide neighborhood walking routes that can be used for exercise

and leisure, and are accessible by people of all ages and levels of

mobility

• Identify bike routes that provide a safe and pleasant recreational

experience and connect to major assets like the Columbia-Tap Rail

Trail and the Brays Bayou Greenway.

• Provide walking routes that connect to local schools and parks, and

that provide convenient access to major transit stops and shopping

centers

TACKLE BARRIERS TO MOBILITY

Although residents of the neighborhood are walking and biking frequently,

the barriers to these activities—both real and perceived—are significant. The

neighborhood lacks sidewalks and bike lanes, has poor road surfaces in many

areas, and sometimes leaves residents feeling unsafe because of limited street

lighting, stray dogs, and other conditions. Strollin’ and Rollin’ will promote

improvements that tackle these barriers head-on, by creating a network that:

• Provides walking and biking routes that keep pedestrians and

cyclists away from both high-speed traffic and high volumes of

traffic

• Prioritizes improvements to street conditions and street crossings

along walking/biking routes

• Addresses other safety issues, like street lighting and stray dogs,

by working closely with City staff and other key partners

CONNECT ALL RESIDENTS TO DESTINATIONS

Many of the major destinations in OST/South Union—shopping, transit stops,

even schools—are located along the major roadways that bisect the neighborhood.

While these thoroughfares are well-suited for car travel, they do not provide a

comfortable pedestrian or cyclist experience. Strollin’ and Rollin’ seeks to build

upon residents’ current mobility and tackle perceived barriers by creating a

network that:

• Provides a walking and biking route within a few blocks of every

resident of OST/South Union

• Provides pleasant walking and biking routes to shops, transit stops,

schools, and area parks

• Provides clear directions to area destinations through easy-to-use

directional signs and wayfinding

• Provides bicycle connections beyond the neighborhood to

employment destinations, including regional activity centers such

as the Central Business District and Texas Medical Center

REALISTIC AND ACHIEVABLE SOLUTIONS

Large investments are needed to create the walkable, bikeable neighborhood that

residents desire. However, Strollin’ and Rollin’ understands the realities of civic

infrastructure investment: funds are stretched thin and can take a long time to

yield meaningful, on-the-ground success. Because of this, Strollin’ and Rollin’

proposes a network that:

• Relies on low-cost solutions whenever possible, taking advantage

of the neighborhood’s large number of quiet, neighborhood streets

• Can be phased in over time, both by improving upon individual

walking and biking routes and by adding new routes

• Can respond to projects in the neighborhood, taking advantage

of new development, capital improvement projects, and other

opportunities to expand

S O L U T I O N : N E I G H B O R H O O D G R E E N WAYS

To address the barriers that keep residents

from walking and biking even more, Strollin’ and Rollin’ proposes a

network of walking and biking routes throughout OST/South Union. These

“Neighborhood Greenways” will be a network of quiet, low-traffic

neighborhood streets where pedestrians and cyclists are the priority—not cars.

Neighborhood Greenways are routes where small investments will transform

neighborhood streets into spaces that are shared equally between cars, bikes,

and pedestrians. These streets will allow children to play, residents to walk

or bike, and local homeowners to access their homes safely, all in a way that

addresses the safety and traffic concerns of area residents.

Neighborhood Greenway signage helps to create a local “brand”

for these walking and biking routes. This “brand” helps residents

recognize when they’re on a greenway route and helps them find

greenways when they’re looking to walk or bike.

“Sharrows” or shared road markings serve several purposes.

These large road markings help people recognize that they’re

on a neighborhood greenway. They also alert drivers that the

neighborhood greenway is a shared street--and that they should

give space to people walking or biking. They can also guide walkers

and cyclists when the route changes direction.

Signage along the neighborhood greenway will provide directions

to area destinations, such as parks, schools, and local shopping

districts. These “wayfinding” signs give people an idea of all the

places they can go and how long it might take--helping promote

walking and biking.

Intersection murals, intersection plazas, and creative street painting

can help give neighborhood greenways a personal touch. These

efforts help create an identity for the greenway that reflects the

people who live and travel along it on a daily basis.

Intersections are the weak points in a neighborhood greenway

network. Crossing a busy street can be uncomfortable and even

unsafe when you’re walking or biking. Intersection improvements

help address these barriers by: 1) Making walkers and bikers more

visible, 2) Alerting drivers to the presence of other road users,

3) Allowing walkers and bikers to trigger crossing signals and

crossing lights, and 4) minimizing conflicts between cars, bikes,

and pedestrians however possible.

High visibility, raised crosswalk - Slows traffic and alerts drivers to pedestrian crossing

Bike lane intersection striping - Alerts drivers to presence of cyclists in intersection

Pedestrian crossing island - Provides a refuge for people trying to cross the street

Bike box - Gives cyclists a place to wait where they’re visible to drivers; makes left turns easier

Bicycle crossing signal trigger - Allow cyclists to trigger a light

Pedestrian hybrid crossing beacon - Stops traffic to allow pedestrians to cross safely

SPEED HUMPS, CUSHIONS, AND TABLES

SMALL TRAFFIC CIRCLES

CURB BUMP-OUTS, CHICANES, CENTER ISLANDS

These different forms of speed bumps are very effective at reducing

vehicle speeds when installed correctly (typically installed in pairs,

spaced 300-500 feet apart). Studies have shown speed reductions of

up to 25%.

Small traffic circles replace stop signs and reduce the potential for

and severity of traffic collisions at the intersection. By eliminating

stop signs, they help minimize cyclist delay. They are less effective

at reducing speeds than speed humps/cushions/tables, but can

lead to some speed reduction because of the sharp turn radius and

reduced sight distance.

These features prevent drivers from speeding by reducing the

number of straight, unobstructed road segments. They cause the

vehicle lanes to shift back and forth, requiring more careful driving

(that, in turn, reduces drivers’ speed). These features also offer the

opportunity for landscaping that can provide shade or improve the

streetscape.

Partial street closure - allows vehicles to turn out of the neighborhood, but prevents traffic from using greenway as an alternative to nearby arterial

When residents of OST/South Union were asked what prevents them

from walking and biking more, traffic came up time and time again.

Streets with high volumes of traffic are loud, often smelly, provide few

opportunities to cross, and generally feel unwelcoming to people who are

walking and biking. Neighborhood greenways would implement features

that discourage drivers from using the greenways as through-streets.

These features will help limit greenway traffic to local residents and will

encourage drivers to use nearby arterials. Neighborhood greenways will

aim to have traffic volumes of less than 4,000 vehicles per day. Many of

the neighborhood streets in OST/South Union already benefit from these

low traffic volumes; this reduces the need for significant traffic diverting

structures.

The 2014 Mobility Report showed that many members of the OST/

South Union Community are biking, but concerns about safety, bike

infrastructure, and convenience keep them from biking more frequently.

Neighborhood greenways will address many of these concerns by putting

cyclists on quiet, safe residential streets. However, at some points in the

neighborhood greenway network, specific bicycle friendly improvements

are recommended. The goals of these improvements are to: 1) Give people

who are biking a safe, dedicated space on the roadway, 2) Minimize conflicts

between bikes and vehicles, and 3) Make it easy and convenient to bike to

local destinations (and park once one has arrived).

• Create off-street walking and biking routes

• Utilize existing right-of-way, park space, and other facilities to create shortcuts for people who are

walking and biking

• Address other infrastructure issues such as street lighting, potholes, drainage, etc.

To stitch together the neighborhood greenway network, some off-street trail and sidewalk connections are needed. These

connections will make the greenways more convenient and more efficient--allowing residents to get to their destinations

quickly and safely. They also provide an opportunity to provide greenspace, pocket parks, community gardens, and other

improvements desired by the neighborhood. Other improvements, such as additional street lighting, road resurfacing, new

sidewalks, or drainage improvements, will increase use and support of the greenway network.

Several other cities have used the

neighborhood greenway concept as the backbone of their bicycle and pedestrian

network. Because of this, costs for neighborhood greenway (or “bicycle

boulevard”) projects are relatively well-established. Costs have ranged from

approximately $43,000 to over $500,000 per mile, with a median cost of $241,230,

according to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (2013).

$ 241 kmedian cost per mile

With 21.3 miles of proposed greenways at median prices, the Southeast Houston Neighborhood Greenway network would

cost approximately $5.1 million. A bare-bones approach could yield costs as low as $2.3 million (~$108k per mile), while an

infrastructure-heavy approach could cost vastly more: $11.4 million.

Implementing neighborhood greenways in OST/South Union will require strong partnerships

with a variety of organizations. Partners can work to ensure recommendations are incorporated into city and regional plans,

help secure funding, help fund improvements, or assist with efforts to build a coalition supporting walking and biking in

Southeast Houston. Partners help advance these recommendations and can help build the capacity of Strollin’ and Rollin’,

SEHTA, and other Southeast Houston organizations.

CITY OF HOUSTON

• Incorporate recommendations into city-wide Bicycle Master Plan

• Add greenway enhancements to planned road improvement projects

• Sponsor grant applications for regional, federal funding

• Conduct engineering studies to refine neighborhood greenway designs

• Assist with construction design of proposed greenway improvements

• Long-term maintenance of greenway infrastructure

TIRZ #7

• Assist with funding of greenway improvements within TIRZ boundary

GREATER SOUTHEAST MANAGEMENT DISTRICT

• Incorporate recommendations into District’s Infrastructure Plan

• Identify grant opportunities for funding improvements within District’s boundary

• Assist with maintenance of improvements funded by City, TIRZ #7

HOUSTON PARKS AND RECREATION/HOUSTON PARKS BOARD

P RO G R A M M I N G & E D U CAT I O N

Creating a culture of walking and biking

in OST/South Union will take more than just infrastructure. Although residents

are already walking and biking (primarily for leisure and exercise), it will take

education, encouragement, and one-on-one assistance to get residents to make

walking and biking part of their transportation repertoire. To do this, SEHTA

and Strollin’ and Rollin’ will continue to advocate for infrastructure, but will

also pursue opportunities for short-term improvements and activities that build

residents’ confidence and ability to walk and bike for their daily needs. These

activities and efforts might include:

COMMUNITY BIKE RIDES

SEHTA and Strollin’ and Rollin’ continue to lead community bike rides to

encourage residents and visitors to explore OST/South Union’s biking routes.

COMMUNITY WALKING GROUPS

A large percentage of area residents are already walking frequently; local walking

groups could help improve residents health, build social connection, and raise

awareness of neighborhood greenway routes.

BIKE SAFETY EDUCATION

Strollin’ and Rollin’ has offered bike safety education classes for area residents.

These efforts can help introduce residents to strategies for biking safely through

the neighborhood and can help build residents’ confidence.

YOUTH PROGRAMMING

Strollin’ and Rollin’ has worked closely with the Houston Texans YMCA to offer

summer youth programming. Programs like these help create new walkers and

bikers and can help SEHTA and Strollin’ and Rollin’ engage youth and their

parents.

BIKE TRAINS/WALKING SCHOOL BUSES

Neighborhood greenways will provide safe walking and biking routes to the

area’s schools, but programming is still needed to further encourage students

to use these routes. Bike trains and walking school buses are two methods for

encouraging this. In both, students join onto a “bike train” or “walking school

bus” (a group of bikers or walkers and parents) as it passes near their home.

POP-UP STREET IMPROVEMENTS

Called by various names--Better Block Projects, Park(ing) Day, Pop-Up Parks,

Tactical Urbanism--these projects seek to transform parts of a neighborhod on a

temporary basis to show what’s possible.

NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY ART PROJECTS

Street murals, public art, and other projects can help build an identity for

each neighborhood greenway and can help spur neighborhood pride around

neighborhood greenways and active living.

Quiet, neighborhood streets designed as shared spaces for everyone that’s strollin’

and rollin’ - not just cars. Neighborhood greeways provide a reliable, easy-to-follow

network of walking and biking routes that will get you anywhere you need to go.

Key Components Include:

NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS

w h at I s a n e I g h b o r h o o d g r e e n way?

EASY, SAfE StREEt CROSSINGS

SlOW-mOvING, lOCAl tRAffIC

QuIEt, lOW-tRAffIC StREEtS

EASY-tO-fOllOW ROutES

Crosswalks, signals, and other

investments make it incredibly safe

and easy to cross major streets when

walking or biking

Speed bumps, small traffic circles,

and other investments keep cars from

picking up too much speed. Reducing

vehicle speeds makes walking and

biking more comfortable and much

more safe.PHASED-IN OvER tImE

Neighborhood greenways can

be built out over time, either by

improving individual routes or

adding new ones.

Traffic diverters, partial street closures,

and other measures keep neighborhood

greenways from becoming alternatives

to the area’s main car-oriented streets.

Limiting the amount of traffic improves

safety and comfort.Road markings, greenway signs, and

directional signs help residents identify the

greenway routes and use them to get to local

destinations--like parks, schools, shopping,

and transit stops.
