Ped Bike Plan
Westchase District has a long-term pedestrian/bicycle master plan. This plan’s purpose is to identify pedestrian and bicycling needs and create initiatives to improve bicycle transportation, recreation and pedestrian and transit access throughout Westchase District.
Mobility Plan
The Westchase District Mobility Plan is an effort to define a clear direction in transportation by bringing together relevant plans and projects; developing a clear and comprehensive understanding of the existing state of mobility; agreeing to consensus-driven goals; and providing strategic recommendations on how to realize the District’s vision for mobility. The District leverages the plan to seek additional funding at both the state and federal levels to finance recommended improvements.
380 Area Agreement
The 380 Area Agreement provides Westchase District with funds to construct City-approved infrastructure projects during the next 10 years. It is somewhat like a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) where the assessed value of properties within the 380 Area are capped and the increased revenues are provided to the District for infrastructure projects. Based on the City’s projections, the Westchase 380 Area Agreement could provide $63 million during the life of the agreement. These revenues will be used to attract and leverage additional funds.
Long-Range Plan
A collaborative two-year process that involved our Board of Directors and staff, public agency representatives, numerous stakeholders, architects, engineers and urban planners conceived Westchase District’s Long-Range Plan and brought it to life. The result is a vision that is both compelling and ambitious but also achievable with time. The plan provides a framework to help guide future development. By making changes to the public environment that developers can leverage, it will attract investment and increase economic values in Westchase District. We have already implemented the first part of the plan by developing a trail system that connects Westchase District to the Brays Bayou trail system and Art Storey Park south of Bellaire.
