If you didn't have a chance to hear it KUHT/ 88.7 had Bob Eury on from Houston Central /Downtown district taking calls and discussing this new plan. He directed people to the survey and spoke to the initiative and ongoing projects to improve downtowns atmosphere. If you go to Kuht 88.7 you can pull up the interview by simply looking at 3/13/17 archives Houston Matters downtown. I worked as a stake holder representative on early consulting for lighting, landscaping, street parking, signage and the pedestrian realm with Bob and Guy Hagsette on the Cotswold project. I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to work as a group in helping to offer insight into such a successful redevelopment of downtowns Historical east west cross streets. I can remember when they started planting the trees and now they're all so large. That area looks and feels so different and pedestrian friendly now. It makes you realize that if you want you can help make a difference in this city if you take the time. Thats why its important for all of us with such strong opinions about how this downtown should evolve that its important for all of us to take the survey.

If decision makers aren't already reading HAIF, let your voice be heard about your opinions on downtown and take their survey! http://www.plandowntownhou.com/participate.html One of the things I liked is giving us the chance to map out our routes via foot, driving etc and showing which are our favorite streets and blocks.

It has started. They are currently constructing the bridge that will connect Mathewson Ln and Gessner. I'll see if I can get a better picture tomorrow. Memorial Gateway by Marc longoria, on Flickr Memorial Gateway by Marc longoria, on Flickr

I have looked around and can't find any updates on the construction that's currently happening to extend Mathewson Ln. I wonder what the timeline is for the new park over Conrad sauer and the project on Gessner Rd from I-10 to Westview also. Anyone have any start dates for those 2 projects?
