    ugh

    About time! It was almost completely "demo'ed" about a year ago by yet another vagrant fire.

    I will when they stop harassing me on a daily basis

    Nice to see a lot of seating for the homeless to set up house.

    Is this the I-45 rebuild north Houston highway tread? It sure doesn't read that way

    The crime rate in Montrose as already dropped considerably since Covenant House has moved out.....

    "Safety Police?" 😆 I personally think that the view coming into downtown is a lot more impressive from a distance ... when you get right on top of downtown you lose perspective of the "Emerald City-esque" skyline. Besides,from what I understand the western portion will remain as a spur to allow access into downtown.

    I'd be down with leaving a few sections up, but ONLY where it crosses over streets ..... it would preserve possible "vista" points into downtown while still leaving all the blocks for future development into housing and offices. Over time these could be connected into an elevated park/walkway system between new buildings built all along the section..... essential a second "street" level much like what is done in many large cities overseas

    Inner Katy BRT transfers at Northwest Transit Center and (i believe) the future west terminus of the LRT in the city courts area. That makes at least two or perhaps three transfers to get to mid downtown from the Galleria ..... the University Line route would also be two (Bellaire and Wheeler). Most people don't like even one .....

    I wish, but if history has taught me anything, they will rebuild all the sections of the BRT route except the stretch from the spur through Shepherd .... they obviously think that rotten roads and broken sidewalks add "character" to the neighborhood

    I don't consider the Pierce elevated to have "majestic views" either from on top (safer if eyes are on the road) nor underneath it (dodgy parking lots / homeless encampments/ high crime rates). For Houston's sake ..... TEAR IT DOWN. Sell some and make a few other parts into parks. The inner city will be much better for it and property values in midtown will soar.

    Next question .... how will the cancellation of this project affect the proposed BRT link along I-10 as future transit demand along that route was predicated on the Texas Central being built. Anyone still wanting to get to the Galleria from downtown/Medical Center will still be able to use the "University Line" (a less expensive buildout) so why build spend the extra funds at this time?

    No, I skipped over those years ....there was no money in it.

    True, L O L , but who really wants to live in what is essentially a dorm if there are other options

    My prediction is that this concept will fail within 5 years and it will be converted into 1 and 2 BR apartments

    Blah, blah, blah, blah ....

    Wow, that is going to look like s___ They should have gone with faux windows along the front

    Can the moderators add the tag "Austin" (or whatever city outside of Houston) to the titles of those out-of-town projects? This is, after all the HOUSTON Architecture Info Forum.

    Perhaps your data only counted construction within the city limits ..... the metro suburbs, which are mostly outside city limits (by design), have been growing at almost an uncontrollable rate.
  21. 77002er
    In a way it already is ..... the VALUE of the land are segregated out, and if the land values go up due to location desirability then the taxes go up. Unfortunately, the desirability of being inside the loop has been dropping or stagnant for a decade or more compared to the Houston suburbs where most people look to buy for better schools and/or larger yards/houses for the same money. Increasing land taxes inside the city will only make things worse as it will continue to drive people out.
