Congressman Al Green stated, “Trails are more than recreation, they are infrastructure for access and safety within our communities that link us to other communities. With the Houston Parks Board, we’re transforming underused green spaces into powerful connectors, linking residents to schools, jobs, and neighborhoods. We’re upgrading intersections with crosswalks, signage, greenery, and clean infrastructure to ensure every Houstonian can walk, bike, and connect safely. Every community deserves streets and trails that serve the people in our communities.”
