Naviguessor Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It also is evident that they are leveling and prepping the ground towards the eastern extents of phase 1, roughly at Sydnor St. The big missing piece in Phase 1, which we haven't seen detail on, is at the corner of Jensen and Clinton, and along Clinton itself. I expect that the face along Clinton will be lower density residential...but the big Jensen/Clinton corner plot, is a real high visibility spot. Just wondering what is in the work here. 3 minutes ago, Luminare said: If they have a bunch of lumber out there then that could mean they are going to start form work soon. On what remains a question. We would need more visual aids. Hey @brijonmang Let's go flying. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houstonian4Life Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Looks like they’re building a new sidewalk along Jensen where the fence was. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @brijonmang Let's go flying. I actually was going to get some aerials here on Saturday after hitting the east end but I got to talking with a cop that was hanging out on site and lost the light. Next time I'm down there! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naviguessor Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The who? Serious question. Who is this named after...if anyone at all? This trend got annoying the very moment that Fingers named their place on Dunlavy, The Susanne. I'm hoping that MIDWAY is backing this up by a historical reference to someone from this area of town. That is the direction they were headed regarding the names of the streets in the development. Just hoping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 When I think of this development, I hear the name “East River” sung to the rhythm of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Green River.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to the hike/bike trail along the bayou? No. That is still partially washed out. Shame too, it was one of my favorites. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
