new bike paths around town
j_cuevas713 replied to samagon's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
No I totally get what you're saying. As with anything you need a network. I made the same argument to one of the candidates running against Abbie Kamin. I basically told her, imagine if the city of Houston only had one main road and that's it. How many people would be able to access it and use it? Very few right? Right now people against the bike lanes are using arguments like that to try and convince others that we don't need them and that nobody is using them. But the same was said about the Greenway trails and look at them now. They are used all week for commuting or for recreation. Even kids are using 11th St to get to school. You also have to connect to destinations and people have to feel confident enough to ride in the lanes and know they can get from point A to point B safely and easily. The White Oak Bayou Greenway is a great example. It's become a major connector for those coming from the Heights to Downtown all the way through Midtown and Montrose. Right now we have a patchwork of lanes that at some point will begin to connect and ridership will start to take off. The lanes on Shepherd are going to be a huge connector north and south. My Uber driver recently tried to convince me that nobody rides or walks in Houston and I had to point out that it was only 60 years ago that Houstonians were walking and taking transit at a high rate because it was the norm. Houston was also smaller and denser but the point is that if you build things for people and not cars, it works, no matter where you live. -

For those that want to participate, Midtown Management District is coming up with it's 10 year improvement plan for the neighborhood. They need input on what areas need sidewalks, lighting, etc. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdECLj1Xow0tOD0gZ67wkZhq0rn2GhcQ_SkgUMaILkusfdG5A/viewform

new bike paths around town
j_cuevas713 replied to samagon's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
There are definitely some growing pains with these well executed bike lanes in this city. Residents in each neighborhood are having a hard time wrapping their heads around the idea that some people prefer not to drive. Even Council member Shabazz continues to bash these lanes on Blodgett saying they cause traffic. She's the moron who said the new highway connection from 610 to 45 was a transit solution for students while data shows that fewer and fewer young people are opting in to getting a license or a car. -
Did this property sell to new owners? I was walking by tonite and Interio looked open for business as usual

The city needs to do a massive clean up on the trails heading in to this side of town. The homeless issue is a disaster right now and it's pretty dangerous unless you're riding with a large group.

It was tough to see the building across the street go a few years ago. I know these two structures had seen better days but damn this is ridiculous. Just more holes in the skyline

Is this for this main building or the little building across the street on Louisiana? I keep hearing that building is going away soon
