Please support the construction of the trail shown on the attached map.  (And if you haven't already done so, please sign the companion petition for the FM 1093 Trail.)

By August 1st, Harris County Precinct 4 will be applying for a Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) grant to extend the George Bush Hike and Bike Trail south from Briar Forest to Westheimer, with a connection to Piping Rock. The 2022 FLAP program will allocate $9-11 million to projects in Texas, and there is no requirement for local funding.

This trail will eventually enable connection of the extremely popular Terry Hershey/George Bush/Cullen Park/Mason Creek/Willow Fork Drainage District trail system (over 40 miles combined) to the Brays Bayou trail system which will run about 30 miles from Archbishop Fiorenza Park to the Houston Ship Channel.  These are high comfort trails which provide safe access to the roughly 27,000 acres of greenspace in Barker and Addicks reservoirs.  

All of the connected trails provide hundreds of thousands of Greater Houston residents access to these federal lands.  Along the way several high activity centers are connected, such as the Energy Corridor district, the Houston Medical Center, the University of Houston, Rice University, Houston China Town, and Hermann Park along with many other parks.

Significant public support is needed for projects to be funded.  If you would like to see this trail built, please sign this petition.  It will be used as demonstration of public support of Harris County’s application for FLAP funding.
