Shepherd Dr. And Durham Dr. Reconstruction
I'll even go a bit further. There should be no ability for the mayor to change projects that have already been designed using public input. The USDOT's website states of public input: "Transportation practitioners have the power and obligation to incorporate the voices of their communities in transportation decision-making." Ignoring public input and changing a project after public input has been considered is a failure to fulfill that obligation. If he believes there was a flaw in the public input process, then you redo the public process. You don't filter out the voices you don't want to hear and only listen to the ones you do. He certainly should not be able to use the permitting office to hold projects that he doesn't like hostage. The purpose of permits are to ensure structures are built according to building codes and applicable laws, not to use as a political force to impose one's will. It's an unethical overreach of power that is somehow legal. https://www.transportation.gov/public-involvement- 1

TMC Helix Park: Texas Medical Center Bio Research Campus
Several of the master plan renderings include a bridge across Braeswood leading onto Brays Bayou Trail. However, I think they are just visionary, I don't think that it's actually planned. Maybe upon final build-out in 10 years from now? This would be an excellent idea! People walking a long the Brays Bayou Trail could take a bridge to TMC Helix Park. Let's get on it.. Renderings featuring the bridge.- 2

Houston Methodist Walter & Centennial Tower
Construction update this week. This week I noticed stairs are going in at the bottom of the front-center core. Also, the new floors look to have the smallest cantilever over the podium. Very cool design! Let's go!!- 3
