The Greater Heights Strategic Connections Plan survey is now open, and it includes an important project that could reconnect the Heights to the bayou in a meaningful way.
Project C7 — (MKT Heights Bird Sanctuary Loop) includes a new bridge connection at Patterson Street.
This Patterson Bridge would help link neighborhoods on both sides of White Oak Bayou while improving access between the MKT Trail, nearby green spaces, and surrounding streets.
The project also includes improvements to the surrounding corridor that could help transform the area into a larger greenspace and nature destination, with better walking and biking connections along the bayou.



Projects like this help strengthen the Heights’ trail network while protecting and expanding the natural spaces that make the neighborhood special.
