There's been a shooting Downtown, Dallas at Main. No details or articles yet.

The Menil Collection At 1533 Sul Ross St.
kylejack replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Going Up!
For a look at what an awesome roof can do, go to the Cy Twombly Gallery (also on the Menil campus) on a sunny day. The roof is built to diffuse the light and provide a soft glow to the room using natural sunlight. It's really cool. Notice that I said to go and see the roof, not the art. Not a Cy Twombly fan at all!- 420 replies

Publications with paywalls enable the full article to be accessed from search engines. This way the search engine can index the full story. They get click-through traffic from people that search words in the story. If nobody ever finds their articles on Google they risk losing relevance. -
Lower Westheimer Road Construction
kylejack replied to trymahjong's topic in Traffic and Transportation
A speech by who in particular? Brian Crimmins? Marlene Gafrick? I'd like to ask whoever it was about what you've said. -
Well then, it sounds like a signage problem more than a missing parking garage problem.

Lower Westheimer Road Construction
kylejack replied to trymahjong's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Since they intend to apply Complete Streets thinking to all new street construction and renovation, we can be reasonably certain that there will not be street parking on every single street. -
That's true.

Lower Westheimer Road Construction
kylejack replied to trymahjong's topic in Traffic and Transportation
The new Complete Streets policy of the City doesn't have any firm rules, actually. It is just a policy of considering all road users when building or renovating roads. -
Maybe it wasn't Hilcorp's decision. It is part of the plans of Downtown Management District. Anyway, just like Main Street Square, closing the road off to cars can create a better pedestrian environment. Main Street Square has trees for shade and etc.
-
Why not? The current Main Street Square at the Reliant tower doesn't have street level retail.

Lower Westheimer Road Construction
kylejack replied to trymahjong's topic in Traffic and Transportation
We don't have enough money to repair the roads because taxes are not high enough. Complete Streets just means taking all types of road users into account when designing new roads or renovations of roads. -
There's nothing going on at that building. It was hollowed out and then...nothing.
-
Probably tougher since there's a little bit of street parking for Kirby Lofts.
-
Note that they are closing Main Street in front of the tower and turning it into a plaza, like Main Street Square.
-
I just heard a rumor that they are tearing down the rest of it.

Marfreless opened in 1972, relocated to current location 1976.
-
Well, that would have been nice. And they tried. But after removing the facade, the brick wasn't in good condition. They would have had to redo the entire thing.

No federal funding has been approved for any version of the University Line. Culberson has been anti-rail even back to when they were building the original Red Line. When the plan changes, he'll oppose the new plan too.

No, Culberson has now gotten it banned from Richmond anywhere west of Shepherd.

Yes, that's true. http://www.gometrorail.org/clients/2491/372235.pdf But the Richmond rail opponents want it off of Richmond entirely.

Plan by who? Certainly not METRO. They wanted Richmond, and Culberson and others pointed to a referendum vote that had it on Westpark originally.

There is not enough room to create two lanes of traffic without removing some sidewalk. The current lane as it is is not very wide. Bicycle and car can't travel side by side. No interest in removing more sidewalk.

How many of those were already lousy pointless streets to drive on?

JW Marriott Hotel Galleria At 5150 Westheimer Rd.
kylejack replied to 286liger's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
JW Marriott is the luxury property. Someone looking for the best Marriott experience shouldn't have to guess which one is the better property. This simplifies it.
