Bayou channel and trail development work between Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive (update)

What's going on down at the Bayou? Earth-moving and construction project explained

This image is in high resolution so you can read the small print. That means it may take a little longer for the image to load (or you may have to click through to the full-sized file version in the Picasa photo collection associated with this blog).
