Visitors are able to observe the various habitats that have been protected and created throughout the park for birds, insects, small animals, and butterflies. A bayou observation platform overlooks Greens Bayou and offer views of the North Houston District skyline in the distance. A permeable paver parking

About: After decades of being located on Allen Parkway, the Center is moving to a new site at Harrisburg and Eastwood in EADO.  This represents a major shift from being located in an insulated environment in River Oaks with significant setbacks from the public realm to a much more integrated and outward facing campus that addresses their mission to “promote the pursuit of choice, growth, and personal independence for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.” Through integration of community based services and programming.  The project will function more like a mix-used environment with residential, programming, retail, healthcare and office uses all on campus.  The site is also located along the light rail corridor with a focus on pedestrian mobility.

About
The main challenge for the Bagby Street project was balancing the need to move traffic while improving the business and pedestrian environment. The project included Low Impact Development; pavement and utilities reconstruction; pedestrian enhancements; on-street parking; context sensitive solutions; landscaping; illumination; and extensive private utility coordination. Bagby Street achieved Silver Certification as the first Greenroads Project in Texas and has been recognized with ten awards.
