Triton Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Back in 2014, I remember reading about a proposal by the city (OR, a major developer in the area saying the city had plans) to expand Sawyer St between Crocket and Washington into 4 lanes. Unfortunately, I cannot find that anymore but it does appear I have come across some sort of Complete Street proposal for Sawyer. It appears to have been created around 2015 though, so I am wondering if anyone has any new information on this road since the city has clearly been studying this road segment for a while: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ZyxZ9zC-bpSUtBT3lTZUNiVmc/view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angostura Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The on-street bike lanes are in the bike plan, but in the "long term vision" layer of the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I wouldn't count on the accuracy of any of those labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatline Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The infrastructure in this neighborhood has been absolutely overwhelmed. If you only had a view of the railroad, the modest two-lane asphalt, and the overhead utility lines, you'd think you were on the outskirts of Angleton or some such. Then zoom out to four story apartment complexes being thrown up in the blink of an eye, tucked right on to the right of way. Heaven forbid if the train is rolling by at rush hour. With Sawyer Yards just really getting started, it's going to get way worse before it gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It's interesting how much pain this railroad causes in the area. I wonder if there is any chance of Summer St being connected? It's getting a light at Studemont right now, so that would add a significantly different option for Target shoppers to escape the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer & Crockett should connect at least to Studemont, and should be placed as one ways. And while they're at it, Spring Street should connect to Oliver and to the I-10 feeder.

Part of me also thinks this area needs to shake itself out a little more, particularly when it comes to residential. They just started redoing streets in East Downtown, but it took a little bit for that area to figure itself out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
