MAY MEETING: The May meeting will be held at OTTO'S BBQ on Memorial Drive
between Westcott and Detering Streets (east of Memorial Park). The meeting will
be on May 5th starting at 7:00 p.m. We have reserved the back room, which will
seat approximately 100 people (we were outgrowing the JAX location), and will
continue to meet there through the end of the year. Never been to a meeting?
Consider riding at the park beforehand and then joining us for dinner and the
meeting afterwards. FYI: Otto's also offers hamburgers in another area of the
restaurant if you're not a BBQ fan. MEMORIAL PARK MASTER PLAN: The final public
meeting on the Memorial Park Master Plan is on Monday, April 28th starting at
6:30 until 9:00 p.m. The meeting is located at the Catholic church across from
the golf pro shop at Memorial Park. GHORBA's preliminary review of the proposal
looks favorable with the existing trails remaining basically unchanged and
future trails planned for the area called The Triangle, which is west of the
railroad tracks and north of Woodway. Please make plans to attend this meeting
and share your thoughts with the consultants. This is our last opportunity to
provide input into the plan before it is presented to the Houston Park Board and
City Council for final approval. JACK BROOKS TRAIL WORK PARTY: There will be
another work party this coming Sunday, the 27th at Jack Brooks Park. The work
party starts at 11:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m. Conversations with Park
officials have been very favorable with additional materials being given to us
for further improvement of the trails. Signage to help limit horse and ATV
access to the MTB-only trails have also been approved. More info:
