  1. I don't understand needing to go through neighborhood streets though. I can easily go up to the next intersection, do a u-turn, and then go right on 11th there should be a solution for a left turn though. I have to wonder if there might be enough room for a roundabout? well, I'm sure with this mayor that won't happen, but maybe for the next mayor they can at least go measure the dimensions to see if it would fit TXDoT recommended specs.
  2. the real selling point is safety. a driver going 30, or 35, instead of 40, or 45 is far less likely to cause serious injury, or fatality in an accident. and with the slower speed, may even be able to avoid the accident all together. considering 30, or 35 is the speed limit anyway. in a world where cars are getting substantially larger and heavier, slower is safer.
  3. when water isn't present in the ground, it has less volume, and settles. so if there's a roadway on top of that settled ground, it too will settle. this doesn't happen uniformly. this is very important around your house, so while it sounds silly, you may need to water your foundation.
  4. no matter what they would have done, this would be the thing. the drought last year kicked a lot of streets in the butt. last spring they scraped and redid the asphalt on MLK going into UH campus, drive it today and you'd have no idea it's been less than a year.
  5. if the end result is the bus drivers not straddling lanes, I can't wait for this to be completed.
  6. Bullritos was having major issues for a while, a new owner came in and was hardly ever open, that lasted a semester. every semester Pinks seemed to have fewer people. I was shocked about Jimmy Johns, there always seemed to be deliveries happening, or customer. I'm glad to see someone is coming in.
  7. and this too. Dollar General Bill White though. I mean, I will say that every time I drove on this stretch, 1/4 of the cars didn't pay attention to the lane directions anyway.
  8. a gas line broken, and a water line broken, it's as if some omnipotent being is telling us that the pedestrian improvements should have been kept. all we need now is for the company doing the work to go bankrupt in the middle of the project for my bingo card to be filled.
  9. hopefully they can keep doing this good work and remove any medians from Westheimer as well, all the way from 610 to Highway 6. that's sarcastic by the way.
  10. alternatively, that's the guy stuck behind the metro bus that is straddling both lanes and only going 15 MPH.
  11. well, they can't give the neighborhood without a sidewalk a 3' sidewalk. the current ordinance states 5' is minimum. https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/sidewalk-regulations.html
  12. oh yeah, if money were no object, then why not both, I think anyone would be in violent agreement with that. money is an object though, and it's something that is only available in finite amounts.
