Montrose1100 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 The abandoned boarded up house on Cullen & Dallas behind the abandoned gas station is being torn down (finally). Also saw some landscapers cleaning up overgrowth on both sides of the Baytown Seafood Market. Wonder if they're priming to sell? Pretty sure we got a letter about a subdivision plat for the larger lot facing Cullen and not McKinney. Finally, at Cullen & Walker, the house on the west corner was halfway in the street. Are they moving it or repairing the raised foundation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linearmovement Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 The house at Cullen and Walker is being moved; there's been a sign in front for the longest time that said "For Sale To Be Moved" and last week there were men on the roof and a truck with a house moving company's name on it (don't remember what the company was called).

ljchou Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 There's a new Ancorian sign at the gas station on Polk so we can assume that'll be an adaptive reuse project. That building holds a lot of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 That would be great. They did a great job remodeling 2339 Commerce (even if it is laying mostly empty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljchou Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 @JBTX I noticed there has been some interior work there, too! (2339 commerce) Hopefully something will open there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I noticed some on my corona-escape walks as well! They have 2 (3?) tenants lined up: Bishop's Cidery (and Bishop's Cidercade), as well as a coworking space.

Montrose1100 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 McKinney was blocked one way this morning, more clearing out of the overgrowth at the Baytown Seafood Warehouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 the blockage on McKinney is related to a traffic test being done by COH. way overdue for neighborhood calming effects to be introduced. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/transportation/article/Houston-testing-whether-signs-make-East-End-15333585.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve literally just put up construction barricades restricting thru traffic. What they need to do instead is redo the sidewalks in the area and ramp up parking enforcement on the dedicated bike lanes on Polk a couple of blocks away (along with re-striping the lanes).

I personally think the goal should be slowing down traffic using calming techniques, not stopping it. the road humps that are randomly placed, like was done a few years ago on Telephone between Polk and McKinney are silly and don't do anything to help. but if they placed these humps at intersections, add poles in the middle of the road to ensure people stay on the correct side, even making them more prominent, that slows people down in the right location. add bulb outs, even choking street size with the bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
