Naviguessor Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 ^^ "Traffic." It's everywhere. This is Houston. But, I don' think that 32 units will significantly add to it, though. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter1 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 More and more equipment going in. The space for this project doesn't seem like a lot. Is the empty lot behind it HEBs? Their Kirby Crossing plan. Believe it takes both AD Players space and this lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the area and drive by this site twice a day on my way to and from work. Kirby is not near as bad as Shepherd and neither are bad at all compared to the poor souls who live in Katy, Surgarland or the Woodlands. Traffic is really not much of an issue if you live in upper kirby or river oaks. You never have to drive far and can Uber to just about anywhere worth going for $7 and they show up at your house in under 5 minutes.

Since Uptown has blocked light rail multiple times (Post Oak and University lines), I'm really hoping that the next legs focus on the "spines" that continue to density INSIDE the loop. 1st on the list would be Allen Parkway/Kirby. It could connect to the Theatre District stop.....go up Allen parkway with the currently and planned developments (i.e. mixed use near FRB and Regent Square) and then down Upper Kirby, which is quickly becoming the "Broadway" of Houston. It would then continue up Kirby to Rice Village. You'd get a lot of points of interest along that route and it would alleviate traffic. Midtown appears to be in good shape with the cluster of dense development along the Main Street Line. Other Inner Loop 'urban' corridors that Metro should consider as they are really densifying quickly include...Washington and Montrose. Uptown had their chance....

LBC2HTX Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I agree 100% with your sentiment, however there’s no way in hell that RO residents will allow a rail line down Kirby. Shepherd would be more feasible, politically, though idk how feasible it is engineering-wise. Montrose blvd makes sense but we don’t really need two lines to the museum district. Also, Washington, W Dallas or W Gray would be alternatives to Allen (my vote is Washington). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattie Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I’m a huge advocate for light rail but what are the chances we’ll get more? Are new lines even being considered? If so, would would it happen in our lifetime) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerNut Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Looks like metro will be focusing on BRT and line extensions. http://www.metronext.org/pdfs/2018_july_board_workshop_handouts.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarathonMan Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The next logical light rail line would run East-West, connecting downtown to Uptown to Briar Forest to the Energy Corridor. Extending current lines to IAH and HOU would be nice, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at least they are considering something, but these extensions look very impractical. On a good note, BRT is a good front end to prep an area for light rail later. At least that's something.

thatguysly Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The highways can't really be expanded anymore unless you do a funky underground thing like DFW did with 635. Point being that mass transit, light rail especially, must be more heavily considered. I cannot believe expansions like 288, with all that room they had to work with, didn't integrate a light rail extension from the Med Center.

I cannot believe expansions like 288, with all that room they had to work with, didn't integrate a light rail extension from the Med Center. I think driverless car ride sharing will be the eventual direction we go with “mass” transit in Houston and elsewhere. Driverless cars would reliably navigate our existing freeways and streets more effectively and efficiently that human drivers ever could. Capacity increases, accidents/deaths decrease and we don’t have to invest in a complete new infrastructure. On a a side note... extensive light rail mass transit in Houston seems impractical. We’re too spread out. It works for the central, more dense parts of the city, but would put the city under financially if we tried for a large network.
