    Ehh we can agree to disagree on that

    If we're strictly talking about the property line, sure, but the ROW shouldn't change. If anything the property should align itself with the current ROW design, not revert to the design standards just because it new construction. That's really my only point. If ANYTHING, what should happen is the business should increase the pedestrian realm and add a door on the Westheimer side instead of damn near 10 feet of plants.

    Dude I'm not sure what you're trying to prove but I've already talked to Lee Cisneros who is the head of the capital improvement projects for the neighborhood and it's definitely part of UKMD. It was one of the main capital improvement projects for the neighborhood. Not sure why you're showing me an old map from 2015. The UK maintenance team manages that whole stretch of Westheimer along with any signage for the district. All you have to do is look at the signs that say Upper Kirby.

    Trust me it is, I live here. That website is never updated and they also never let the neighborhood know when they have meetings. When they do they're all scheduled on Mondays at Noon. UKMD literally rebuilt this entire section of Westheimer just a little over 10 years ago so it's in their maintenance borders.

    It is, I walk by it daily after grabbing coffee at DUO. I'm not a fan of the "pedestrian buffer.' I think all it does is prevents drivers from being able to see pedestrians. I'm all for trees with grates, how UK has them currently. I think both the planning dept and public works need to be aware of this design flaw. It looks good on paper but it's not practical. Planters make more sense then a bunch of mulch.

    The sidewalk was wider before. Not sure why the width changed but I'm assuming it's to meet the design requirements for new construction. I measured the sidewalk yesterday and almost 2 feet are gone in exchange for the buffer. I'm not sure why the ROW is part of the design when UKMD already set the design for the neighborhood.

    They took sidewalk away smh I def gotta report this to Public Works.

    I hate Cle Group. They're just a bunch of dbags who want to make a quick buck. What they've done to the old Christian Science Church is ridiculous. And all they seem to attract are wannabe gangsters in 2023 Camaros

    Welp that's one eyesore gone along 59

    I know some people in the neighborhood don't like this project but these types of developments are what the city of Houston uses to incentivize further improvements for the area such as better sidewalks, streets, etc. That mentality may change when Prob B goes into full effect and the city isn't having to convince some guy in Sugar Land that we need better infrastructure.

    Wow this is what great urbanism looks like. I can definitely see everything surrounding downtown becoming similar to Seattle over the next few years if developers continue to build this way.

    I'm not holding my breath on this one. I'm hoping for no setback but this architecture firm doesn't even have a working website

    It looks like a clubhouse you rent at a garden style apartment complex built in 2005

    Great news for the neighborhood. I lived 2 or 3 blocks from here for about 2 years. I'm hoping for many more positive changes in the neighborhood. I think the biggest sign will be when those apartments and that ugly shopping center change hands and get redeveloped. That section of the Northside bounded by 610, W Cavalcade, and Airline is a strange mess but it's coming together.

    I mean they tried building a successful food hall by depending on car traffic to supplement the demand. That just doesn't work
  17. j_cuevas713
    There is literally a garage down the street. So many damn parking garages downtown.
  18. j_cuevas713
    I think they may be doing better than they anticipated. A hotel would take the space to an entirely new level

    That's my boy Emmanuel. And my buddy Lucio runs that ride.

    They changed their tone real quick. The traffic data may not support the changes but there are reasons behind that. First, Houston Ave has never had high foot traffic for anything. Second, the road design is way to wide. Maybe 60 years ago it made sense but today it doesn't. And the city is simply going back and taking back space it wants to use for better things in the neighborhood.

    It's Christmas time

    The programming by Understory could be better to attract more people

    Yeah I Yeah Metro is a joke. While I'm excited about some of the transit projects in the future, the mismanagement of the agency time and time again is beyond absurd at this point. I always stay alert on the train.
  24. j_cuevas713
    There has to be mold at this point right? It just seems smarter to start over
  25. j_cuevas713
    Yeah this isn't good news. I hope they fill the spot soon.
