As the Buffalo Bayou Partnership finishes projects, it presses on with others - Houston Chronicle

While fundraising continues on the East End project, the $8 million raised so far has come from public/private partnerships and foundations, corporations and private individuals willing to open their wallets for a good cause.

What's already taken 10 years, Olson says, were time-consuming negotiations with 19 property owners to gain permission to construct the trails through their land. But, she says, "they began cooperating as they saw what we are trying to do."
