Extreme rain events last week overwhelmed Houston&#8217;s bayous, creeks and reservoirs and caused significant flooding throughout the city. Over the next few weeks, Houston Parks Board&#8217;s Maintenance Team will be clearing debris and silt (fine bits of clay and sand) from the Bayou Greenway trails, as many of them have been affected by the recent flooding:<br \/>\nBrays Bayou Greenway<br \/>\nSilt on the trails and greenspaces are the biggest cleanup up issue and will take a couple of weeks to remove.<br \/>\nDebris left behind in the railings, on stairs and at the high water mark should be cleaned up by the end of next week.<\/p>\n<p>White Oak Bayou Greenway<br \/>\nDebris removal from railings and trees should be cleared by the end of the week.<br \/>\nSilt removal should be completed by next week.<\/p>\n<p>Halls Bayou Greenway<br \/>\nMinor amount of silt and debris were left on the trail and will be cleaned up by next week.<\/p>\n<p>Buffalo Bayou trails<br \/>\nThe portion of Buffalo Bayou trails downtown will continue to be affected by bayou overflow as water is slowly released from the Addicks and Barker reservoirs on the upstream end of Buffalo Bayou. Silt and debris removal is anticipated to take a month to clear.<\/p>\n<hr align=\"left\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">#meetup_oembed .mu_clearfix:after { visibility: hidden; display: block; font-size: 0; content: \" \"; clear: both; height: 0; }* html #meetup_oembed .mu_clearfix, *:first-child+html #meetup_oembed .mu_clearfix { zoom: 1; }#meetup_oembed { background:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:10px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;border-radius:3px;margin:0; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; }#meetup_oembed h3 { font-weight:normal; margin:0 0 10px; padding:0; line-height:26px; font-family:Georgia,Palatino,serif; font-size:24px }#meetup_oembed p { margin: 0 0 10px; padding:0; line-height:16px; }#meetup_oembed img { border:none; margin:0; padding:0; }#meetup_oembed a, #meetup_oembed a:visited, #meetup_oembed a:link { color: #1B76B3; text-decoration: none; cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; }#meetup_oembed a:hover { color: #1B76B3; text-decoration: underline; }#meetup_oembed a.mu_button { font-size:14px; -moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;border-radius:3px;border:2px solid #A7241D;color:white!important;text-decoration:none;background-color: #CA3E47; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ca3e47, #a8252e); background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0, #a8252e), color-stop(1, #ca3e47));disvplay:inline-block;padding:5px 10px; }#meetup_oembed a.mu_button:hover { color: #fff!important; text-decoration: none; }#meetup_oembed .photo { width:50px; height:50px; overflow:hidden;background:#ccc;float:left;margin:0 5px 0 0;text-align:center;padding:1px; }#meetup_oembed .photo img { height:50px }#meetup_oembed .number { font-size:18px; }#meetup_oembed .thing { text-transform: uppercase; color: #555; }<\/style>\n<div id=\"meetup_oembed\" style=\"height:270px\">\n<div style=\"max-height:230px;overflow:hidden\">\n<h3>Brushy Creek\/Deception Ride<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:16px\">Wednesday, May 4, 2016,  6:00 PM<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 5px;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Brushy Creek Sports Park<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:12px;\">2310 Brushy Creek Road Cedar Park, TX<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span style=\"color:#4F8A10;font-size:16px;\">8 Mountain Bikers Went<\/span>           <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:5px 0 10px\" class=\"mu_clearfix\">\n<div class=\"photo\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/secure.meetupstatic.com\/photos\/member\/c\/7\/3\/thumb_256623187.jpeg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"photo\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/secure.meetupstatic.com\/photos\/member\/5\/7\/b\/e\/thumb_196102462.jpeg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"photo\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/secure.meetupstatic.com\/photos\/member\/b\/a\/5\/6\/thumb_278447702.jpeg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"photo\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/secure.meetupstatic.com\/photos\/member\/4\/f\/d\/4\/thumb_247100436.jpeg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"photo\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/secure.meetupstatic.com\/photos\/member\/6\/7\/3\/d\/thumb_249386429.jpeg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"photo\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/secure.meetupstatic.com\/photos\/member\/9\/b\/6\/0\/thumb_253959776.jpeg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"photo\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/secure.meetupstatic.com\/photos\/member\/4\/a\/7\/c\/thumb_6859068.jpeg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"line-height:16px\">Meet at 5:45 pm to air up, tune and hit the Brushy Creek Deception trail.Wheels down at 6:00 pm.This will be a ride for folks who want to ride Deception at a fast beginner to intermediate group pace, depending on the crowd.
