The project is divided into seven phases, designed to minimize disruption , while maintaining access to recreational amenities in the area.

The Harris County Flood Control District in coordination with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership has begun completing major repairs along Buffalo Bayou, between Shepherd Drive to Sabine Street, to contain erosion and bank failures caused by Hurricane Harvey. While this work along Buffalo Bayou is not classified as a flood damage reduction project, the repairs are necessary to stabilize the channel and prevent further erosion and damage to the channel.

The total cost for these repairs will be approximately $9.7 million and will be funded by grants from the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Federal Emergency Management Agency. The project will be divided into seven separate phases along Buffalo Bayou designed to minimize disruption, while maintaining access to recreational amenities in the area. The project is expected to take approximately one year to complete.
