I'm sure it will (rightfully) be one of the final things remaining for both the Waterline and Waller Creek projects, but all of these pictures certainly have me excited for what that chunk of the creek will finally look like once it's cleaned up and actually landscaped...

You’ll have to wait until ~2035 when ProjectConnect finishes. This area of the creek is going to be a permanent construction zone for awhile.

Certainly you do not include Waller Creek from Cesar Chavez to LBL! That section will be finished by next year. Correct?

Correct. Sometime during 2026 anyway. It should be finished all the way up to 4th St.

Great opportunity for Iron Works bbq to add a patio or deck once the creek is finished.

Just really hope this area gets a lot of use and doesn't just attract the transient crowd and kids who want to spray paint their tags everywhere.

everyone would be much better off if someone dumped all of iron works' jerky-making equipment into the creek and someone else started fresh in their location.

only half kidding, but yeah every single business or property owner would be crazy not to maximize their interaction with waller creek once this stuff is all done.

Wasn't it about three years ago? Seems to me this project has taken quite a long time to complete. The big dig in Boston wrapped up sooner.

Maybe all the highrise and convention center construction/demolition has screwed with the schedule?

It is being done in stages. This (second?) stage is supposed to be finished sometime this year. I believe the stages have been staggered due to the time it takes time to raise funds. This project is largely dependent on philanthropy. So the next stage likely won't start until enough money is available.

There is a web site for the project that lays out the stages. I haven't looked at it in a while. It's easily Google-able.
