I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
nolaboy replied to ToryGattis's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Why isn't there an option to trench/cap the Pierce, and leave I-45 in its current path of the west side of downtown? Considering that nearly half of I-45 will still remain in place on that side for the the downtown connector and the ROW is already there. The cap would still allow downtown/midtown to be integrated, as opposed to a much wider cap on the east side. -
I wish they opened up Katy Fwy Managed lanes for HOV on weekends

Spotted this beauty in today's Pixel 6 Launch video... https://pixelevent.withgoogle.com/

Definitely not a change "in the air", but its a refreshing change nonetheless. Has there been any discussion about BerryHill staying or relocating? The article does not mention them. Hopefully Post Oak Shopping Center, just to the south of this Plaza, will give the mid/high rises we hoped for.

There is a May 2015 satellite imagery update on Google Earth for most of the Houston area (adjust the timeline to select 5/15). However there is alot of cloud coverage and its pretty dark. Its not quite the image quality we're used to seeing from Google. There is also a "coming soon" layer on the left hinting at something yet to come, and the blog at the link below indicates that this Sunday (6/28) is Google Earth's 10th anniversary. Hopefully something "Earth"-Shattering will be released??? http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2015/06/new-google-earth-layers-coming-soon.html Edit: This imagery is from May 27, 2015, approximately a day and half after the heavy rain/flooding on Memorial Day. You can slide the timeline one notch to the left to view March 2015 imagery for the eastern half of the metro area (approximately from the Med center to the Bay). This imagery is alot clearer.

Looks like most of the satellite imagery of the area on the west side has reverted back to atleast 2 years ago (Palladium barely has a foundation poured). I hope this means Google is working on rolling out an update.... Edit: my statement above applies to the Google Maps website. The Android app still shows the same imagery from last year.

Link: http://www.fortbendstar.com/2014/06/04/t-i-property-redevelopment-unveiled/ The search page shows a date of June 2014 so I don't know how accurate this is.

The latest Chase App login screen has a shot of Houston. Seems to be a bridge crossing Buffalo Bayou. I'm not sure if I got this image because I am in the Houston area of if it is for everybody who uses the app.

I wish i worked in Williams. The view is amazing in all angles, especially around half way up. I was just visiting someone on 40 and they have a nice conference room on the east side that I was able to take a few shots from. I also went up to the top (64?) and was able to walk up to the westward facing window to take shots on that side. I was asked to leave about 5 minutes later as it was a private office. Wikipedia said there was an observation deck on 51, but that floor has been converted to private offices. Sorry to get off topic.

I just noticed that Google Maps satellite was updated west of Peek Rd across Grand Pkwy and all the way through the western part of Cinco. I can see it on my Android phone but haven't confirmed on a computer. Imagery looks to be around January, some time before the overpasses at Bellaire or 1093 were completed. 99/10 and 99/290 interchanges are now shown as nearly complete.

I noticed 3 Life Flight helipads ontop of the new building. The 4 existing ones are not shown on top of the Childrens building. I wonder if the 3 new ones will be in addition to the existing.

It will be next to MH Childrens -- Cambridge side overlooking Hermann Park.

A friend forwarded this internal email sent to Memorial Hermann TMC employees from the CEO earlier this week.
