Which image do you prefer, the one on the left or the one on the right? As of today, Cottage Grove has no commitment from the City of Houston to fulfill its promise of using its 40+ acre purchase of the MKT ROW for hike and bike trails and related purposes. In one month, on April 1, TxDot is letting the contract to build its detention channels through the MKT ROW and their plan will eliminate existing landscape and install fencing.
Since the plan originated in 2008, Cottage Grove Civic Club has been requesting a holistic approach be taken regarding this major infrastructural change. More information on the subject can be found in Linda Mercer's document "The Eureka Trail In Urban Houston: At Risk or In Development?" and in White Oak Bayou's "MKT Section Sketch: Base Condition through Mature Tree Condition".

what is the update on the possibility of still having the MKT trail continuing through the Eureka yards? It would be such a shame to let this opportunity to tie the different communities together! Right now, you can almost make a full loop from cottage grove to memorial to downtown through the heights--it stops at Eureka when it can easily continue on and actually tie into the white oak trail or just back to cottage grove...
