  1. The only reason someone would need a car to access their home is if the only entrance to the home was a weird garage door that opened for cars but nothing else. You don't need access to your home via a car. If you did, people who utilize other means of transportation could not live there, which is just untrue. If your property doesn't have a place to store a car, you end up relying on on-street parking. If you live on a street with lots of people in the same situation, you may not find a parking spot near your place, and have to park a block or two away. Or you have access to a parking garage but it's a block away from your home, same situation. To say you need a car to access your home is simply untrue. To say you need access to your home via car isn't true at all, it's just a convenience thing. The point @mollusk was making was about how often the streets are being used for certain modes of transportation should dictate how we allow the street to be used, the same argument people are making about the bike lanes on 11th St. If no thru-traffic is being used on a street, and it's local residents only, then we could convert the street into a glorified driveway for those residents only.
  2. There is already a coffee shop here opening called Pavon, is this a second one?
  3. https://nohighernowideri10.com/I10AlternativeOption.pdf
  4. What's the point if it isn't frequent?
  5. The train station being at POST would make it one of the best Amtrak stations in the country for food. If they could trade the parking lot near the platform with the current Amtrak parking area, I think something could work. There's even a pedestrian walkway underneath the highway connecting the two areas.
  6. Has anyone looked at the safety improvements that were made in this section? Could this be re-worked to be safer but still allow the turning lane to the church? The new section reminds me of 11th street between Shepherd and Durham in the Heights.
  7. Thanks for the information but it doesn't change my concern.
  8. It's the type of statement, when both neighborhoods could benefit from 8' sidewalks, they give the neighborhood without a sidewalk a 3' sidewalk and call it a day. That's my concern.
  9. I'm not sure where the parking garage even is when I drive past on either Shepherd or Durham. I think it does inhibit business a bit.
  10. Their website says it's open by appointment only Tuesday-Thursday 10-5, and open Thursday 2-5, Friday & Saturday 11-5. So it's open for 15 hours a week.
  11. A long due update but the signs and paint have been a major improvement.
  12. The current path has a lot of pinch points that slow down traffic. The new route is supposed to fix the problem.
  13. I'm surprised they ket the door frame red.
  14. This is awesome! In time for the World Cup could really create an identity into the community here. I walk along this area every time I visit downtown, it has a lot of potential.
  15. Day 6 closes at 6 and Chipotle at 8, I don't know if those are good places to wait for a night train.
  16. I was thinking about this project today, are they replacing the overpasses around 6th & 7th streets?
  17. When a major amount of tenants left/were forced out and they started charging for parking. I remember going in early 2022 and it was really cool, and busy. I went again months later and it was empty.
  18. On their Instagram they advertise for their upcoming 5th Annual Halloween Bayou Bash, how long have they been at this location?
  19. There is a petition going around with a protest on Sunday to save the live oak trees that will be cut down with this project.
  20. The Taco Stand and Burger Joint also have parking but typically fills up on busy nights.
  21. Did you draw it by hand? How did you get the highways to overlay?
