Correct, they are. They have also done a good bit more work on the McAlpine side and spent much of the past week more electrical work in the back.

The drive-in has been a good use of the property while we wait for Triten to permit, secure funding, and secure an HEB (hopefully!) for us in the East End.

Honestly? Yeah. I mean that solely from personal experience too, not to denigrate your opinion. I lived on campus for four years during my time at UH without issue (I am also a not small male). Boughta house in 2nd ward just before the boom there. I was (and still partially am) surrounded by cinderblock homes, dilapidated homes, and vagrants. It works for me because I don't mind it and am totally game to pay a lower starting cost for greater long term opportunity. Circling back to these properties, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that, if an incoming freshman's parents pick one of these up at 125, they will get their money back and then some in 4 years.

I think people also need to keep in mind just how many foreign students there are at UH. Coming home every summer for the whole summer isn't really an option for them, but their folks do have enough to send their kids off to the States for school. At this price, it's pretty perfect for them.

That's exactly my thoughts. Plus, the idea of not having to move every year for four years is appealing.

Love the windows. Looks good. -
For sure! Just like the "presidential brick" portion of Navigation!

Without a doubt. It's basically a worthless plot now.

That is the Salmeron Clinic. Not owned by the city. Mr. Salmeron's son owns and maintains it nowdays, but it hasn't been open in about a decade. No idea why he didn't sell...

Jensen And Navigation Blvd. Roundabout
JBTX replied to Mr.Clean19's topic in Traffic and Transportation
That is something you have to consider. A lot of pedestrian and bike traffic in the area. And again, soon to be even more once Forth is complete (and presumably even more once The Mill is underway/finished). -
Jensen And Navigation Blvd. Roundabout
JBTX replied to Mr.Clean19's topic in Traffic and Transportation
@IronTiger the current intersection is absolute cancer. You current have a 4-way intersection which, because of the 45 degree angle of the Navigation bend and Jensen, ends up actually being an 8-signal intersection as the left turns aren't properly aligned, so they have their own sequence. Add in the stoplight on the Navigation to Navigation right turn, and you technically have a 9-sequence light for a four-way intersection. It's also important to note that the amount of traffic going from Runnels to Navigation or Jensen is usually 1-3 cars, per cycle, max. The traffic from that side is negligible, but they have their own part of the cycle. Unless you can realign the interesetion into a grid (which you can't), the *only* way to improve it is to add a continuous flow roundabout. I don't care if it's only one lane, anything that keeps this from being a 5 minute light is function over form. Especially when you add in a new 400 unit apartment complex right at the intersection. -

Jensen And Navigation Blvd. Roundabout
JBTX replied to Mr.Clean19's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Yes, I believe that streetcar is called "desire." I'll show myself out. -
Jensen is being resurfaced from Clinton to Navigation. Unsure if it is related to East River, the Navigation/Jensen/Runnels roundabout project, or just regular construction work. Regardless of what it's for, resurfacing Jensen is appreciated.

Jensen And Navigation Blvd. Roundabout
JBTX replied to Mr.Clean19's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Jensen is being resurfaced from Clinton to Navigation. I spoke to the construction crew which said that all they are working on is resurfacing and that they are unaware of any plans to turn the Navigation/Jensen/Runnels intersection into a roundabout. However, there were COH and EEMD supervisors with the crew. I wasn't able to talk to them as they were all on the phone. I had recently seen survey crews on site with markers placed at the intersection. Hopefully they are working on both at the same time... -
Absolutely lovely. I can't wait to see this in person.
