The Memorial District and Partners win HGAC award!

December 8, 2016

The Memorial District, in partnership with the City of Houston, the Energy Corridor and Westchase districts, and the West Houston Association, was recently recognized by the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGCA) with an "Our Great Region" Award. 

The award, in its first year, recognizes projects completed within HGAC’s 13-county area that address needs in six topic areas: transportation, the environment, economic development, resiliency, housing, and healthy communities.

In 2014, the partners completed a West Houston Mobility Study that assessed and analyzed the projected population grown of West Houston in the coming years and provided strategies to address mobility concerns associated with that growth. The plan included options for improved METRO connectivity, pedi-bike path growth and development, the addition of bike shares, and area circulators. 

With its “Our Great Region” award, HGAC recognized the West Houston Mobility Study not only for the important information and analysis it provided, but for the unique and highly-successful collaboration between all partners involved.

The Memorial District was honored to be part of the mobility study and enthusiastic about working together with the partner organizations to ensure our area is growing and thriving in the best possible ways. Since the study, the Memorial District has kicked off a bike share program and continues to collaborate with study partners on mobility initiatives, such as working with the city and county on expanded pedi-bike paths.
