Where is the Montrose Management district in all this?

The Montrose TIRZ always posts about being able to "build" but not "maintain"

The MMD always made a big deal about it being able to maintain the projects it wanted built.

The Montrose Management District was dissolved in 2018.

You are correct but it was revived in 2021- I think........

For the most part the same ole same ole -

I heard a presentation from them on Neartown zoom.

I think I posted somewhere that I couldn't understand why MMD was so cagey about who the president was.

I'm no longer in Houston, are the lights maintained or are they still lit up in patches? Looked semi broken last time I saw them. Does anyone happen to have recent pics?

This is the latest news. Houston First is in charge of the lights now. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/arts-culture-news/2023/02/01/442799/broken-montrose-59-69-southwest-freeway-bridge-lights/?fbclid=IwAR2AzBovym69c38gyvoufqjhqPUYoofOCknZCqL5GWgFva98p5dbmUBwgh8

"Houston officials voted Wednesday to repair the iconic Montrose bridge lights over the Southwest Freeway. 

The lights over the six bridges were installed in 2017 by the Montrose Management District before the city hosted Super Bowl LI but have been deemed faulty over the past few months. District G Mary Nan Huffman was the lone vote against the measure. But repairs were supported by the other 15 council members and Mayor Sylvester Turner."

Hopefully, that's an under-promise, over-deliver.   FWIW, the design team having been selected does not necessarily mean they are under contract.  The first period of time may be spent getting contracts. Only then could the design work start...

Where did you see that?

In a statement, Houston First said a design team has been selected and construction would likely not start for at least another year.
