Westchase bet big on making Walnut Bend smaller for drivers, better for walkers

Historical signs are on a trail near Walnut Bend in Westchase District Friday, June 17, 2022 in Houston. Using local and state funds, Westchase Management District spent $20 million rebuilding just more than one mile of Walnut Bend from Westheimer to Westpark Drive, improving drainage, replacing the automobile lanes and widening sidewalks to landscape and enhance bus shelters.Westchase area officials had their long-planned rebuild of Walnut Bend made in the shade.

“Where do people gather? We want to create these community gathering points,” said Sanchez, vice-president of projects for Westchase District, the management district stretched along the west side of the Sam Houston Tollway. Officials opted simply to make the road one lane, but a more predictable trip for the community as opposed to a cut-through. The redesign of the road included the creation of dedicated pockets where Metropolitan Transit Authority buses will curve out of the way as they pick up and drop off passengers, along with street parking.

With a little extra room, officials carved out a small — albeit unprotected — bike lane next to the cars and trucks. Sanchez said the project’s design started in 2014, prior to rubber and concrete curbs becoming more popular to protect bike paths.
