It’s destined for better things than parking (hopefully). Surprising/ironic to me that a bike shop would want more parking. In so many cities, the bike culture is very militantly anti-car. Perhaps it's more tempered in Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Eado Bike Co. only has about 3-4 parking spots in front of their building on St. Charles St. No parking is allowed on Emancipation St. and there is a working business right next to them. On weekends BeFit gets huge crowds which take up some of the spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could ride a broken bike to the bike shop for repair, then they wouldn't need the parking 😁 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The World Cup isn't until 2026 and it will be held at NRG, not PNC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It is quite possible that PNC will be used as a practice facility. That said, there should be more than enough parking at PNC now for teams, equipment, media, etc. Highly doubt it needs expanding just for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would literally be right across the street from an entrance to a major sports stadium that hosts all sorts of events year-round. I can’t help but think that it will effect future development in the immediate area too, as ordinances regarding the distance between schools and certain establishments (e.g., bars) will dictate what is allowed to operate. I assume those would still apply to a Montessori school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this ends up being a Shipra Montessori, then it’s not all bad. Maybe they can contribute good architecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it's not like people are only going to be near NRG. There are going to be events all over the city, especially around the soccer stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 and while I haven't seen anything, there are friendly matches and stuff like that, leading up to the WC, it's possible that they host a few of these games there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't have the right of way 👍 good info! 109.33 of the Texas code stuff says that the measurement for schools is from property line to property line in a straight line across intersections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are required to publish it on city hall a few days before as well. I work nearby so let me know if you need me to walk over and take a pic of the notice 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JClark54 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This slide was presented at the Goal Park event last night. The Goal Park landscape architect said the mixed-use development with possible skybridge information came from the developer. Apologies for the poor quality. Goal Park's event was on the Pitch 25 patio at night, so dim lighting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
