    I really hope this can spur some good downtown to IAH/HOU transit options!

    Yeah so they are in no way related to Local Group, which is a few blocks away? And also space themed?

    I'm in the shops often for lunch at work and the restaurants are as busy as they were pre-construction. Yeah it looks messy but I'm still able to access all the same places and access the entrances/exits (including the elevators on the Phoenicia side). I'll be honest, the place looked pretty rough/broken down before they started on this project....

    Woo! Now keep it going and connect up the white oak trailhead :)

    "The number of people deemed homeless in the Houston region has been cut by 63 percent since 2011, according to the latest numbers from local officials. Even judging by the more modest metrics registered in a 2020 federal report, Houston did more than twice as well as the rest of the country at reducing homelessness over the previous decade." Amazing -- especially considering that 1.5 million more people live in the Houston metro area now vs in 2011.

    Great infill -- great location as well.

    I was at Tennis Express out on Westhimer and they have signs that the building will soon be for lease. The staff were saying that they are moving to a larger space off of Westpark and Ranchester (90k vs 40k sf) — should be happening later this month.

    Some news on Allen Parkway Village -- people are being asked to relocate temporarily for renovations. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Allen-Parkway-Village-tenants-express-fear-hope-17231805.php?

Breaking ground on a new segment of the brays bayou trail heading west.

    I was checking the Houston bike plan map and even their proposed trails are just ok for the galleria area. https://mycity.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=4b5467e117d0459b84e2f2e94ba4fdc2&extent=-10619481.073%2C3470289.6806%2C-10609291.0617%2C3475071.7722%2C102100

    Ah yep that is what I was thinking of :)
  13. sapo2367
    Wasn't there a proposal to make it affordable housing?
  14. sapo2367
    I haven't biked it but I believe it is open today Woot! I think the long term plan is for this to continue and cross over I10 to get all the way to Memorial Park. I recall seeing some mockups somewhere on HAIF a while ago. Its the little connectors like this or the one by Stude park that can make such a difference to a comprehensive network. Eliminate those pinch points and people are much more ready to give it a try.

    This is under TC jester, basically this:

    Heights trail extension is open!
  17. sapo2367
    Yes all three blocks as well as the interior roads are currently blocked off.
  18. sapo2367
    Looks nice! Although that corner has to flood pretty bad, its like the lowest point in downtown.
  19. sapo2367
    Pouring some concrete
  20. sapo2367
    Woo!

    In non flame war related news, they are boarding up the former lofts at the ballpark apartment complex. The streets are also blocked off. I’m assuming they are working towards demolishing the buildings.

    Had lunch inside today, from the top level you get a nice view of the interior construction. It was still bustling with office workers getting food.

    https://houstonfoodfinder.com/bars/local-brewery-near-downtown-houston-gets-new-owners-an-executive-chef/ Looks like Night Shift's loss is Local Group's gain. "Distincture Hospitality has also hired chef Daniel Leal, formerly of Night Shift bar, to oversee a new “casual comfort” menu, set to debut in June. (Until then, the kitchen remains closed.)"
