Precinct 3 nears completion on $3.7M Cypress Creek Greenway trails One of two sets of pedestrian amenity projects totaling $3.7 million along the Cypress Creek Greenway has been completed, a spokesperson with Harris County Precinct 3 conrmed May 9. The projects are funded by Precinct 3. These projects are part of the larger Cypress Creek Greenway project, which aims to connect more than 40 miles of walking and biking trails along the creek. The pedestrian amenity projects focus on parts of the greenway on the north and south sides of where Hwy. 249 intersects with Cypress Creek, providing access to the Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve, according to Precinct 3. A second project—Loop 1—was ex- pected to be nished in late May. This project includes pedestrian under- crossings at Hwy. 249. Trails con- necting both loops will be completed this summer.
