    It's such a great property. Turning this in to a mixed use development would be incredible for the area.

    Thank goodness! That property needs some TLC!

    I listened to info on the Innovation District but nothing on the Parking Minimums

    Def keeping my attention all day. Are things like this ever streamed online?

    I'm sure funding sources from the feds are possible.
  6. j_cuevas713
    I'm curious where you saw that info? I remember you mentioning it on another post.

    I honestly thing the next step is making Richmond a BRT line. I think BRT can make huge gains in this city. And what's better is its cheap and easily convertible to rail.

    Very good insight. I looked up Buffalo Grass and that is exactly what those areas need.

    Yeah but then you have to start to ask the question, how much more debris is going in to our gutters, creating just as big of an environmental impact compared to paving those areas over and dealing with the urban heat island effect? I feel there are more feasible solutions to the urban heat island effect by simply planting more trees along the curb replacing those grassy strips.

    It's seems Philadelphia is dealing with the same issue with litter. According to the article, they are the only major city without street sweeping. http://www2.philly.com/philly/opinion/commentary/philadelphia-litter-street-sweeping-dirty-city-clean-up-opinion-20180301.html

    From a document dated back to 2011 on the city website, they do downtown once a week and streets outside of the core on a monthly schedule. I think they only go down major thoroughfares based off the map. Then again this is dated 2011.

    We would have to be complete morons to not think this is a GREAT IDEA! Turning the Pierce in to a park with build outs underneath would be incredible and really urbanize and connect Midtown and Downtown.

    I was just about to say that. Rugby would thrive in Midtown!

    Another major thing I noticed was that in NY there are very few grassy strips near their sidewalks for like city signs, etc. It's all paved over. I feel having to mow all these tiny patches of grass and allowing all of that to get in to our gutters doesn't help because all that debris stays there forever and nobody cleans it up. It doesn't help when those grassy strips become more mud than grass. The same goes for our medians. It's like extra maintenance for something that if paved over to the curb, would eliminate the eyesore of overgrown grass and eliminate unnecessary debris. But I think the reason we build that way is flooding, correct? I'm just confused with how the city handles litter and who is responsible for cleaning it up. It would be nice to have our medians paved over for pedestrians. Adding more usage to the land for crossing the street safely.

    Yep And ok.

    Not sure, where can I find the city agenda? I was told the 11th of this month.

    Honestly a mid size stadium, like BBVA, for a pro sports team would work really well in Midtown.
  18. j_cuevas713
    I could def see a hotel similar to the one in Uptown with multiple venues catering to a sports crowd. Maybe something like the baseball themed hotel near MMP.

    I took a trip to NYC a few months back and for a city as big and densely populated as it is, it sure was clean. Don't get me wrong, there were areas that had trash here and there but overall the city was very well organized and kept up with. Now I love Houston, and I understand we are a bit sprawled out but even our inner city areas don't seem up to par with just basic maintenance. Why does this city not keep up with itself? I'm actually asking wanting to know what the process is for just keeping things clean. I think one major thing I noticed was that every sidewalk in NY was clean as well. No walking in mud or trying to navigate around dumb barriers like bushes, etc.

    Think about the level of density the city will have from the TMC to Downtown if the city approves no parking minimums for Midtown and Eado! The area is already rather dense as it is having that restriction.
  21. j_cuevas713
    Seriously? There are sports, nice parks, great restaurants and bars, theater, easy public transit
  22. j_cuevas713
    I agree, I think that's a very solid point as to the monotony of development in Houston. This is going to bring some great density to areas of the city that honestly deserve it.

    I honestly don't see how that means a full service grocery store wouldn't do well. I mean grocery stores are always going to do well, especially when you have a name like HEB. Treasure Island Foods sounds a mix between a strip club and a can of mini weenies.

    So the entire business is shut down for now?
