OUTSIDE THE HEIGHTS:
This event and this group are technically outside the Heights. However, how goes Washington, so go parts of the Heights. Our neighborhoods are inextricably linked and residents of one need to be concerned about what happens in the other. Make it if you can.

  • Join Washington Ave Livable Centers for a public meeting. Get updates on the project so far and add your hopes and dreams for our little slice of the inner loop.

The Washington Avenue Livable Centers study area, which is bounded by I-45 in the East, I-10 in the North, Westcott in the West and Buffalo Bayou in the south, includes much of Superneighborhood 22 and contains all or most of the First and Sixth Wards, Memorial Heights, West End, Magnolia Grove, Westwood Grove, Rice Military, Wood Crest and Cottage Grove neighborhoods
