  • Final Report September 4, 2015
    Final Report September 4, 2015 planhouston.org Houston: Opportunity. Diversity. Community. Home. Introduction Houston is a great city. From its winding greenways, to its thriving arts and cultural scene, to its bold entrepreneurialism, Houston is a city of opportunity. Houston is also renowned for its welcoming culture: a city that thrives on its international diversity, where eclectic inner city neighborhoods and master-planned suburban communities come together. Houston is a place where all of us can feel at home. Even with our successes, Houston faces many challenges: from managing its continued growth, to sustaining quality infrastructure, enhancing its existing neighborhoods, and addressing social and economic inequities. Overcoming these challenges requires strong and effective local government, including a City organization that is well-coordinated, pro-active, and efficient. Having this kind of highly capable City is vital to ensuring our community enjoys the highest possible quality of life and competes successfully for the best and brightest people, businesses, and institutions. In short, achieving Houston’s full potential requires a plan. Realizing this potential is the ambition of Plan Houston. In developing this plan, the project team, led by the City’s Planning and Development Department, began by looking at plans that had previously been created by dozens of public and private sector groups. The team then listened to Houstonians themselves, who described their vision for Houston’s future. Finally, the team sought guidance from Plan Houston’s diverse leadership groups – notably its Steering Committee, Stakeholder Advisory Group and Technical Advisory Committee – to develop strategies to achieve the vision. Plan Houston supports Houston’s continued success by providing consensus around Houston’s goals and policies and encouraging coordination and partnerships, thus enabling more effective government.

  • Non-Native Species New to Texas with Comments on Other Species
    Aplaca. J. 2012. Non-native species new to Texas with comments on other species. Phytoneuron 2012-95: 1–6. Published 16 October 2012. ISSN 2153 733X NON-NATIVE SPECIES NEW TO TEXAS WITH COMMENTS ON OTHER SPECIES JED APLACA Superintendent, Greenspace Management COH Parks and Recreation 2999 South Wayside Drive Houston, Texas 77023 ABSTRACT Two non-native plant species are first reported here as growing outside of cultivation in Harris Co., Texas, and are additions to the non-native flora of Texas. Gilia tricolor has been introduced as a wildflower along the ditches in parts of the Westchase area of Houston and Macroptilium lathyroides has been found growing in landscapes in association with nursery plants originating in Florida. Ludwigia peruviana has been found naturalized in the Houston area, only the second county record from Texas. Manihot grahamii , previously misidentified as M. esculenta , also is a naturalized species in southeast Texas, documented here from Hardin and Harris counties. Gilia tricolor Benth. (Polemoniaceae) was a very common wildflower species in a ditch near the Westchase area of Houston, apparently growing from seeds sown in late 2009. The site was visited the next two years and seedlings were observed, but it was not visited again to see if the plants were flowering. The species is native to California and also known to be naturalized in Colorado and Massachusetts (BONAP 2012). There are no Gilia species known from southeast Texas (Correll & Johnston 1970; Hatch et al. 1990). This species is characterized by its tricolor corolla; yellow with purple spots below the blue-violets lobes (Fig.
