Regarding I-45, in 2020 I put forth an amendment to designate White Oak Bayou as a recreational park. If that amendment had passed, we would not be facing this situation with TX-DOT.

Here’s the complete resolution. If Council Members could draft resolutions, it would give us the ability to advocate and legislate for our constituents more definitively. #Houston
ACT IMMEDIATELY!
The sale of a portion of White Oak Bayou Greenway to TxDOT for I-45 and I-10 expansion will be voted on by city council May 15th.
Email or call your council members and tell them to vote no.

Had so much fun yesterday at the 11th Street festival talking to voters about @SaveWhiteOak and electing @MarioforHouston @NickHellyar @plummer4hou and all the Dems in the runoffs. If you’re in Houston, GO VOTE!! @gratifihouston
Let’s not take a wrong turn on the road to being a world-class city. 🌍🚧 Our city's heart beats green with parks, not gray with concrete! Remember in 2012 when we all said 'Yes' to a greener future with a $166M bond? 💰🌳 That was us voting for more bike trails, not bypasses!

Houston ranks 71st in the country for green spaces and parks among large cities, there’s no excuse for turning more green into gray.

If you want to claim the H from the burbs, you first have to tell us where you stand on the i-45 freeway expansion.

Vote yes on Props A and B in Tuesday's election!
Prop A allows three or more city council members to add items to the city agenda, including the designation of new parks.
Prop B allows Houstonians to have a fair say in funding infrastructure projects that will benefit us all.

Here's why this still matters. If we don't get the park designation this will happen. @SaveWhiteOak savewhiteoakbayou.org @CMPlummer4

Join us on Friday 09/22 at 6 pm in Stude Park to savewhiteoakbayou.org Gonna be a picnic and several candidates will be there. It's an election year! Parks > dang freeways #stopI10elevation @SaveWhiteOak
Before. After. These green public spaces belong to us. It's outrageous that TxDOT can pave over White Oak Bayou. The entire corridor should be a park, like Buffalo Bayou. @HPARD @CMPlummer4 @StopTxDOTi45 @FredLindner

Speaking at @METROHouston, @EnriquePenalosa says that adding lanes to solve traffic congestion is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. 🔥
We can’t afford to lose the bayou greenways and parks that make our city special. It's time to make our voices heard! #SaveWhiteOakBayou
