11th Street in Houston Heights is a major east-west street in the Heights, running from Shepherd Drive to Michaux Street. It is a popular destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment, with a variety of businesses and restaurants along its length.

Our goal: Empower our local businesses on 11th St to build a thriving community where our families can feel safe shopping, exchanging ideas, exercising, taking a stroll.

Option 1: Geographic Unity
Categorizing by Location: east or west of Heights Blvd

This design approach visually emphasizes the geographical diversity of our community. By categorizing businesses based on their location relative to Heights Blvd, we celebrate the unique charm and character that each side of 11th Street brings to our neighborhood. This option highlights the unity that spans from west to east, uniting us all as one community.
