Shepherd Dr. And Durham Dr. Reconstruction
If you value a project, it behooves you to attend your local SN meeting. Whitmire has stated many times that he finds value in the super neighborhoods, the traditional conduits through which resident concerns are relayed to their respective council members and the city. Many of them stream on Zoom or similar, too. For mine, you can sign in online. One of the Heights-area SNs posted that only two people showed up at a recent meeting despite huge social media traction on the projects being impacted. His new DoN boss has requested for SNs track attendees via sign-in sheets and put out surveys, etc., which was a prominent feature of the Parker era but fell off under Turner. It's a way to capture actual resident input, versus a select few, he claims. The new DoN group claims SNs that don't comply with existing rules may be deactivated. Noncompliance was supposed to trigger deactivation under Turner -- the rules never officially changed -- but enforcement was minimal or non-existent. One SN in a major area of Houston took advantage and held its meeting midday during the work week, when many folks are working and can't realistically attend. -

Shepherd Dr. And Durham Dr. Reconstruction
Has there been any push back from TIRZ/ representatives in the Heights for his decision? Leaving out this middle piece of Shepherd/ Durham is going to make the Heights area feel less cohesive. He's coming off very hard headed in his decision that affects hundreds and thousands of people, its infuriating! -

The Plant At Harrisburg: 3401 Harrisburg Blvd.
it's purely coincidental. correlation doesn't mean causation. /s I will say though, there are less expensive places to get Thai street food. and every time I eat Thai I am haunted by the memory of Kanomwan. that was some tasty Thai.- retail

Shepherd Dr. And Durham Dr. Reconstruction
This is what I suspected. Actually, this accusation may be overblown: Because the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) allocated the $40 million in federal funding for the second phase of the Durham-Shepherd project, i sign off on any design changes. But changing the project, even at such a late stage, won't necessarily jeopardize the funding, according to Craig Raborn, th of the H-GAC's Transportation Policy Council. He said the funding source in question is flexible and that the council typically will "try to do everything we c work with project leaders and ensure their initiatives can be completed. Numerous outlets have already reported that Parker would run regardless of what Hidalgo does.- 1
