They use a left turn arrow when there aren't any left turns in a traffic circle. They use a continue straight arrow for both lanes as the indicating arrow to exit the circle. An arrow pointing left does not mean continue going in the lane. I think the arrow should be circular to indicate the angle of the lane/exit.
What actually confuses me is there are no arrows currently in the circle. You are expected to just figure it out that some sections are two lanes and some are one.
My recommendation would be to drive in a circle

The Blodgett improvements is a project involving Commissioner Ellis and they 100% did outreach and its been on the bikehouston website forever. TSU had flyers about it, and I know the combination of the uni and county interviewed people about it because responses were in a slidedeck I saw online.
Ellis doesn't just do random things in third ward, he's been fairly protective of the area. And yes, its moving forward mostly because they had already done so much work before Shabazz brought it up which is kind of an indictment of her knowledge of the area. I like her, but her comments were wonky, acting like her constituents (which is fine and fair) and herself (not fine) were unaware when if she basically just followed other city employees on twitter who regularly give updates about alternate transit construction she would have had a steady stream of information over the last year. Wacky.
Def some level of disconnect in the district she oversees

Fresh drinking water not drainage although they are repairing the drains while they are at it.
Ahh ok my bad

It's been renovated for a while but they recently added the fence to keep people off the property. That parking lot where that bulldozer is at was a temporary food truck lot and people would walk over to the property to sit and eat.

That's a massive upgrade to the drainage system

So much will be finished by 2030

Hi Y’all! Made an account to be able to reply here. We are ApolloHOU @ApolloHOU on all social media. We are the current tenants on the 3rd floor of 310 Main St. I (co-creator Josh Hill) have been looking into the history of the building and came across this thread. We’re honored to be in a building with this history.
GO STROS!!!

I have zero sympathy for the complainers that are mad about destroying a wheel on one of the curbs or islands. They need to pay more attention to their driving. Traffic still flows, but there's almost zero craziness, since the ragers can't fly around other drivers at 20 over the speed limit.
Same! People are always complaining about "another lane” but that's just to justify them wanting to drive like animals.

Here is my opinion on the bike lane issue and drivers complaining. The REAL issue isn't about traffic. It's about drivers not having the ability to drive as fast as they want and fly through a 4 lane street through the middle of the neighborhood. For so long people have been able to drive in this city with no conscious thought about people and now that they have to do that, they're all up in arms. I love the fact that some Heights residents who were so against this bike lane have now confessed how much they like it. Why? BECAUSE IT MAKES THE STREET SAFER.

I'm not only happy for this development but the fact that this will repair those sidewalks that are sinking on this part of Westheimer. I've contacted Lee Cisneros of the UKMD about this issue multiple times and he never gives me a straight answer.

Similar to the 11th street bike lanes the city started making the changes on Blodgett and then the residents got mad. Shabazz took up for her constituents and tried to put the kabash on the changes and the mayor got mad. Just like 11th street he thought the public was made aware of the changes in advance. Obviously the city is doing a lousy job of communication but they will never admit it.
I mean I feel like it goes both ways. When I lived in the Heights, I was well aware of the changes coming to 11th. So when people came to some of those meetings shocked at the news, I was taken back because I knew of the countless efforts to reach the community. I don't think it's all the city's fault. Some of it is def a lack of awareness when it comes to city issues.

Did the city vote Wednesday about the bike lane controversy in Third Ward? I'm trying to find info on that. I heard Mayor Turner was visibly frustrated with Councilmember Shabazz.

I'm new-ish here and a suburban kid, but gonna have to look into those developments. I have heard of TMC3 and that project is genuinely MASSIVE. Can't wait for it.
Edit: OMG I want to move to that East River development as soon as possible! Looks beautiful.
Nice, well welcome to HAIF!

I cannot wait to cover it. I'm beyond excited for the future of this great city. Housing for more and more great, diverse people!
It's really becoming something special. My top projects are East River, the Ismaili Center, and TMC3, not including the new bike lanes and street improvements to a few major thoroughfares.

This is going to be a huge year for development in this city. There are so many big projects that will be close to finished by years end or under construction.

That article ended on an ominous note…they might not do anything with the lights if the freeway is going to be reconstructed as part of the I-45 project.
Yeah I saw that. I didn't know the I-45 project involved this section of 59 as well.

As you said, it’s all in the use of the word “conversion”—you don’t tear down something you’re going to “convert.” Seems pretty clear they limited themselves from going back to the Downtown Living Initiative approach for new construction and are focusing now only on conversion.
Perhaps a refreshed, less “rich” DLI could be launched at some point in the near future, as one would think it shouldn’t cost as much to entice additional development now that the area is much more “proven” for residential development.
Concepts for the Sakowitz conversion will definitely be interesting to see. Hopefully we are about to start a third wave of residential construction after the 1990s Rice/loft conversion, then the DLI, now this. 🤞Exactly, that's why I'm crossing my fingers about this one. And the Sakowitz building becoming residential would be awesome.

Same company that built 2727 Houston Ave. Flats.
The development on 2727 Houston Ave is really nice. It's simple and great urban infill.

Well one can only assume (hope?) the 901 Main St would be restored to the original exterior--look at those windows! Would make a unique place to live in. Just will need lots of noise insulation.

This would be a huge save. Based off all the buildings that have been saved over the past decade, I think it's safe to assume it will be restored.

Parc Binz I & II: Offices With Retail At Binz And Chenevert St.
in Going Up!
Posted · Edited by j_cuevas713
My only issue with the first development is the pedestrian realm. I think it needs to be reworked because I'm personally starting to see more and more people walk inside the loop.
