Post Oak Boulevard presents Houston with an exciting and compelling destination boulevard that rivals any major U.S. city or foreign capital. It equally serves its local residents, regional commuters and shoppers – it’s a red carpet for visitors both foreign and domestic.

The Boulevard Project brings even more excitement and livability to Uptown that rewards all Houstonians. Tree-lined streets, pedestrian lighting, flower gardens and widened sidewalks create Houston’s friendliest pedestrian zone. New transit options offer real advantages over car traffic with uniquely designed buses in dedicated express lanes. Whether people aspire to live, work, shop or play, the boulevard becomes the connection for shared experiences in Uptown.

When the project is complete, nearly 1,000 live oak trees will line the boulevard. These trees create a uniform appearance and continuous canopy, adding welcome shade to the thoroughfare. Custom-grown live oak trees, initially cultivated in Central Florida, have been maturing for three years at a nearby tree farm for their future installation on Post Oak Boulevard.

The cornerstone of the completed boulevard will be its enhanced walkability and beautification. Sidewalks along

either side of Post Oak Boulevard will be widened to 12 feet, offering an inviting public space for a more active and urban lifestyle. Shaded sidewalks and flourishing vegetation along with extensive pedestrian lighting will welcome strolls throughout the day and after sunset to Uptown’s unmatched dining and shopping experiences.

This signature project for the city will be a model of improved access, beneficial to the lives and lifestyles of all its citizens. It is designed to serve the needs of a currently underserved community – the growing number of employees working in Uptown who need efficient and convenient transportation options to and from work.

Not only will the project improve pedestrian and automotive access with dedicated bus lanes for Uptown’s more than 200,000 daily commuters, but it will also provide visitors and residents an enhanced boulevard with shaded sidewalks and flourishing vegetation. The wider walkable area will be an inviting public realm for a more active and urban lifestyle.
