Bill Coats Bike Bridge On November 16, 2012, Hermann Park Conservancy dedicated a new bike bridge in honor of late Hermann Park Conservancy founder and Park crusader, Bill Coats. The new bridge, spanning 290 feet, is critical to providing increased connectivity between the Park and surrounding neighborhoods and is a key piece in completing 35 miles of bike trails along Brays Bayou. Located on the Bayou Parkland side of Hermann Park, the contemporary bridge, designed by Barnhart Engineering with MC2 Architects, and new pedestrian underpass enable cyclists and pedestrians to explore parkland on both sides of Brays Bayou and provides safe passage to the heart of Hermann Park. The project was made possible thanks to a federal bikeways program grant, the Texas Department of Transportation, the City of Houston, Houston Parks and Recreation Department, and Public Works and Engineering in conjunction with Hermann Park Conservancy. The project received the prestigious Landmark Award in Keep Houston Beautiful’s 2012 Mayor’s Proud Partner Competition. The bridge’s general contractor was SpawGlass Civil Construction, Inc.
