I saw a bunch of Ion logo construction fencing going around the parking lot between Stuff'd and the Wheeler Light Rail station. I didn't get a pic. Is anything close to happening there?

I'm curious. A real question. If Caroline reached it's potential, what street would it resemble? Houston or elsewhere.

Ok. More recent. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/29/texas-highway-expansions-project-displacements-protests

"caused by a bunch of people who seem to think rebuilding the highways is racist or something" Shown to be true nationwide (for example; https://www.history.com/news/interstate-highway-system-infrastructure-construction-segregation) and is an issue rising nationwide. Not simply a Texas problem and hopefully the institutional and private vehicle issues will be addressed soon.

Still almost no changes to the exterior but a lot more activity on the site. Maybe the website release got them moving : )

This is as close a forum as I could find for my comments. This is a very wonky city planning article about the importance of rivers within cities. https://www.planetizen.com/features/116825-river-scenes-how-rivers-contribute-more-vibrant-urban-communities I wonder if, through flood control or some other environmental priority, the bayous in Houston could be re-engineered into a more river-like attribute. Maybe not for transportation but for more neighborhood people-focused reasons. Germany has several popular beaches along rivers. Imagine that on a summer day in Houston. Or the encouragement to new denser but more livable communities? I don't have the training or experience to know if and how it could be done here, but a larger more consistent volume of water flow could be transformative to this city. Change the sense of a bayou from a storm drainage ditch to a verdant waterway. Sort of a grander Buffalo Bayou but for all the bayous. Is it possible?

Still no change to the exterior, but there are workers coming and going inside every day. I'm guessing supply chain difficulties.

I also think that TxDOT is saying the new roadways COULD be capped by parks, etc but the design, construction and maintenance would have to be paid for by someone else. TxDOT is not including that in their project.

Levit Green: Life Science Mixed-Use District By Hines
Brooklyn173 replied to TheNiche's topic in Going Up!
I think the days of the northeast as a major steel producer are over. I think Indiana is the number 1 state (Gary) and the southeast is also strong. But my guess is that foreign steel, in total, is the major source. -
Levit Green: Life Science Mixed-Use District By Hines
Brooklyn173 replied to TheNiche's topic in Going Up!
Is cost the only reason so many Texas highrises are reinforced concrete structures? I'm from NYC and almost everything there is made of steel beams (not just the supertalls)? Something like Downtown's Texas Tower would almost certainly be a steel skeleton in the northeast. It's a real question. I just don't have the experience to hazard a guess. -

Adelaide Downtown: Micro Unit Apartment Complex At 1218 Leeland St.
Brooklyn173 replied to nate4l1f3's topic in Going Up!
Besides the density and proximity to the light rail, how is this different from the abandoned project in Eado called Ivy Towers (or something like that) on Leeland?- 49 replies

I saw a mobile office trailer parked at the Wheeler Light rail station site today. Any idea what this is for? ION related or MetroRapid or something else?

The two top floors were apparently planned for a single tenant per floor. The question came up because the top floor terrace is set up for just that single tenant. But if they subdivide that floor, they'll need to figure out if/how to allow other tenants to use that amenity.
