I wonder if Frontier will use the A3 gates now? I think Frontier has briefly moved to using some D gates as they have expanded quite a bit recently at IAH.

With news that retail is finally coming into this development, I wonder if they'll remove the barriers to their Westheimer entrance. It looks so weird right now with the planters basically blocking the entrance to the garage.

Thanks for sharing the article @IntheKnowHouston. Glad to see they will add a sidewalk on the east side of Hollyhurst Lane. Quote from article: "Fertitta doesn’t plan to make significant changes immediately to the nine-story building at 777 Post Oak. However, he is adding landscaped sidewalks to enhance the walkable connections between the office building and the rest of the Post Oak Hotel campus."

I believe 417 W Clay caught on fire a few months ago.

Homeless project near Beyoncé-backed complex sparks debate (houstonchronicle.com) Article in the Chronicle. Provides a good overview of the project: "13 floors of housing for the formerly homeless. To do so, the nonprofit is asking Houston for permission to build closer than 25 feet from the property line." Each studio unit would be around 340 square feet. The article then brings up the people opposed: "But lawyers representing the owners of a block of land nearby have protested that the variance would make the area less pedestrian-friendly, which is the purpose of the city rule limiting how close buildings can be to property lines. The permission could also curb the possibilities for any potential park that could take the place of the bordering Pierce Elevated, which is slated to be removed as part of the Interstate 45 expansion, they said." Personally, from the renderings above, I dont really see how it would be negative for the pedestrian experience. This actually would provide more eyes on the street and I think it would actually make that area of Midtown feel safer because there will be a development with windows and lights and not an empty grass patch near an underpass.

@j_cuevas713 do you mind sharing what this is about? It seems positive!!

I think some reasonable responses should be looking at trying to make the Silver Line better. For example, connecting the 9-Gulfton route to Lower Uptown TC...which would then allow an easy transfer between Silver Line and HCC West Loop Campus. Get TSP (transit signal priority) up and running along the corridor. Advertise the service to Galleria employees. There are a many other things the agency could look at it to make the line more successful instead of cutting frequency.

Yet, critics continue to say the University Line and Inner Katy should not be built based off Silver Line ridership. Ridership has been growing recently, so the concern is that the frequency change could have a negative impact on future ridership growth for the Silver Line. This could be a concerning look for the future of BRT in our region. That is why it is a big deal.

METRO also calls it Marron Park Way on their University Corridor alignment map.

It is on tonight :)

Wouldnt be surprised if CAVA took over and combined the old ZOE's space and Pinkberry's.

From what I can remember, it did not. Water did get pretty close.

METRO put back the stops on Travis in the right turn lane with the route numbers. They were up for around 4-5 days. They have now since been switched back to the bus stop flag that says "stop closed". Attached is a photo of the right turn lane stop at Travis and Preston (photo taken (3/1)). It not is back to saying stop closed (as of 3/23).
