Why This Project Matters

The Gulfton & Kashmere Gardens Resilient Sidewalks Project is a transformative investment in two historically underserved Houston neighborhoods. With a focus on safety, sustainability, and equity, the project will create greener, more accessible streets that meet the evolving needs of the community.

1. Enhances Mobility and Safety
Improved sidewalks will provide safer, more accessible routes for people walking, biking, and using mobility aids—connecting residents to schools, transit, workplaces, and neighborhood services.

2. Builds Climate Resilience
Enhanced drainage systems and expanded tree cover will help these neighborhoods better withstand flooding and extreme heat, two growing challenges in Houston’s climate landscape.

3. Addresses Long-Standing Infrastructure Gaps
Gulfton and Kashmere Gardens have faced decades of underinvestment. This project delivers long-overdue infrastructure improvements in areas where they are most needed.

4. Supports Health and Quality of Life
Shaded, walkable streets encourage physical activity, improve comfort, and foster a more vibrant public realm, strengthening community well-being and connection.

5. Backed by Federal Investment
This $43.4 million project is funded through the Inflation Reduction Act’s Neighborhood Access and Equity grant program, reflecting a strong federal commitment to building safer, more equitable communities.
