In downtown, projects totaling nearly $6 million in federal and private funds raised by BBP, extended the trail from Main to Smith streets.  By incorporating bridge abutments and other infrastructure, the trail linking Allen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Landing to Sesquicentennial Park is one of the most distinctive in the city.<\/p>\n<p>2020:  In partnership with Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) and Houston Parks Board&#8217;s Bayou Greenways Program, and thanks to generous gifts from Gerald and Jeff Hines and Sis and Hasty Johnson, BBP will begin construction on another unique trail extending from Allen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Landing to east downtown and beyond.  Once again, existing infrastructure will be used as the trail winds its way through the basements of several historic County buildings.  We also hope to join with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and open the long-awaited Clayton Homes Trail and pedestrian bridge east of downtown.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/txbmxhof.org\/2020-hall-of-fame-induction-awards-ceremony\/\">2020 Hall of Fame Induction Awards Ceremony<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>by Chris Dixon | txbmxhof.org<\/h3>\n<p>Texas Bicycle Motocross Hall of Fame<\/p>\n<p>The Board of Directors of the Texas BMX Hall of Fame are excited to announce our 2020 induction awards ceremony with 1970\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, 1980\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, 1990\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s riders along with (Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s class and Freestyle) and of course, the Ryan Sheehan Spirit award winners and lots more.
