I think the name is all lawyer speak. Anyway, glad they're doing a cypress meeting. No ones really mentioned it but they really need to consider the impact this line is going to have on the 290 area as well as around the stations. Think about it, this won't just be suburbia anymore. Now we've got 21st century access to another city right next door to a booming population.

If TCR were smart (which they are), and the Howard Hughes company were smart and forward thinking, they should place a station somewhere in Bridgelands. It may not be as big as the Woodlands, but it's pretty damn close. This is the best case of future proofing this city could do in years.

Nice

I'm not white enough to go inside

Yeah but can jet fuel melt steel beams?

We're just bored lol

Living inside the loop has given me the benefit of the doubt as to names. I only say it's actually close to downtown because it most likely will be close to downtown

But I stand corrected it seems!

In reality, it is indeed quite a vague statement. Many outside-the-loopers refer to pretty much anything inside-the-loop (at least from downtown west) to be "downtown", making both the Galleria and the Northwest Mall site "close to downtown". (Many people even refer to the Galleria as being "downtown.")

What are you talking about? I've never heard people refer to downtown as all of 610. People know montrose, River oaks, Highland Village, etc. Those areas aren't referred to as "downtown", they have their own names! I have never met anyone who refers to our Galleria as "downtown" either. To Houstonians, it is "the Galleria", and that's what we're arguing.

Closer to the Galleria more than anything else

Looks just like the renders

In Houston, the city that embraces its urban sprawl, "close to downtown" is definitely not a vague statement. There are only a few areas that qualify as "close to downtown" that have the capacity for this.

For trains, I definitely don't. I love Chicagos L

No Slick, we're entitled to delicate flower and moan just as Metro is entitled I push their dates back.

And a month is not really going to change anything as per the number of trams; it's not like those are easy things to manufacture.

*delicate flower

Should be "female dog"

not even after a Hurricane is the bayou that high or with that much water lol.

Huh the more you know.

Actually, SN would only land their craft here. So far it's just a glorified runway.

No it really does actually. The blue line is how far drivers must pull forward to turn right onto Studewood, which has an unusual incline and curve that makes it more difficult for drivers trying to take the red arrow path.

So apparently it's finally opening on May 23, according to swamplot.

Anyone else looking forward to seeing it open after the Superbowl? 

It would make that intersection a lot safer. Really hard to see cars approaching from i10 when you're trying to turn off of the street.

I don't understand why this is surprising then? what's changed?

Do we know for certain there won't be retail or entrance on that side? There hasn't been any concrete (lol) details

Source for that? That hurts to find out.

I don't have a problem with the skirt but that's two projects that we've seen today that have a similar grey tone that is looking eerily similar to the Mercer...

Up close it looks dope tho

Nah...lol
