Texasota Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ah the most Houstonian of all questions: but where will I park?!?!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Well I'd rather take transit don't get me wrong. I still have to get there from my house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinglyam Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Will the Burnett TC have parking for light rail users? There's a pretty annoying lack of spaces to park on this end of the red line. I'm pretty sure it's not. It's always been described as a "kiss and drop" location, and this far in town, land is too valuable to spend on parking. It's not like it's easily accessible from the freeways, anyway. Clearly this is intended as a true urban location, which means you ride transit, a bike, or walk there. What the Hardy Yards developers do is a different story, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinglyam Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Interesting that it stops at Chestnut. They've done the sidewalks from Chestnut to Freeman, and conduit is in place, but no landscaping whatsoever. It's still a muddy, weed-infested mess along that area.

Was not directed at anyone. Edit: I'm just looking at all the signs I see, with the transportation hub... the avenue style roads with trees placed along the road... the Hardy Yards sign itself. I think we will be kindly surprised with what we get here. A lot of us, including myself, had worries this would be just a big apartment complex. I think this will be much much more.

j_cuevas713 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 This is a massively planned project. Now that the city has a plan for how it's going to grow, I wonder how this will integrate with downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinglyam Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 As long as they don't do This Way and That Way, but since it's not being developed by Dow engineers, we're probably good. I thought it was a promising, ahem, sign, that the developers see this as a destination development, and will put a lot of effort into making it worthwhile.

IamHouston Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Dallas/Houston high speed training has the Hardy Yards as 1 of 3 options to build Houston station. Maybe unlikely, but interesting to see it as be on the final 3 list. http://www.houstonpress.com/news/the-houston-bullet-train-station-might-be-in-downtown-7924302 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Will probably (hopefully) be a future station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinglyam Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 How big would this station be? As long as it can be melded in with the planned mixed use development, great. But if it's going to replace all of it, no thanks. That would kill development in Near Northside if they end up with just a rail station. Looking at the March "Last Mile" report, going into Hardy Yards was rated next-to-last of the options, so I question the likelihood that it is now a top-three. Plus, DH-2 goes down the median of I-10 and over I-45? I don't see that getting approved unless they officially kill the Uber-Alignment they've been talking about. This major piece of infrastructure would have to be torn down and rebuilt within a few years if that went through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It was taken out of the FRA's latest report this week so there will not be any immediate downtown station. If/when there will be in the future, and if it is in this area, it will not require this development to be demolished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamHouston Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just for shoots* and giggles, if I may add to the redundancy, ..we can all for very obvious reasons see that this is unlikely. But the mere fact that it was mentioned, gave it enough recognition for me to post it as a positive. The HY aren't going completely unnoticed as many here seem to believe, or therefore acknowledge.

ANTHONYHTOWN Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 i understand their point of view but too far in my opinion, and not looking forward a possible bus line like a "shuttle" be created, only other option another rail line extension but that will not happened.
