  1. In certain (all?) districts, we need to incentivize property owners to plant or maintain shade trees along public sidewalks. Shaded streets would encourage walking in Houston more than anything else, imo. They also look nice.
  2. Story in the Chron today: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/neighborhood/heights/news/article/City-updates-plan-for-bicycling-network-6480438.php?t=d3100c86f7438d9cbb&cmpid=email-premium Also, June 2015 presentation: http://houstonbikeplan.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/HoustonBikePlan-COH-BAC-Kickoff-052915.pdf Personally, I want to see continuous east-west walk/bike paths connecting George Bush Park, Terry Hershey Park, Memorial Park, and Buffalo Bayou Park. We're already so close, only lacking connection along the bayou through the Memorial Villages and Rice Military/Camp Logan.

  4. If anyone wants to chip in, Urbannizer's link is a real estate crowdfunding site. Also found this rendering of the pool area there:
  5. I think, maybe, you meant to paste this link instead: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2015/05/11/exclusive-proposed-luxury-rentals-near-texas.html Here are some excerpts: And the site location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Med+Center+Collision/@29.699654,-95.400743,17z/
  6. I saw this linked on Swamplot this morning. I haven't found a relevant thread, so here you go: http://realtynewsreport.com/2015/05/04/large-mixed-use-project-moves-forward-on-texas-instrument-tract/ My expectations aren't high - suburban outlet mall, apartments, office buildings - but perhaps a nice addition to the area. Does anyone have more details?
  7. I found this on Swamplot this morning. I don't believe it has been linked here yet. http://urbanland.uli.org/industry-sectors/bayou-city-reclaiming-houstons-signature-waterways/ It's an interesting read.
  8. I live in the neighborhood and I've had similar thoughts about Bendwood's future. However, I believe the park will definitely remain isolated from the development, even if its use increases as the local population grows. Bendwood Park is surrounded by expensive single family homes on three sides and Bendwood Elementary on the fourth. Creme de la Creme and Town & Country Village to City Centre's south are owned by another firm. Town & Country has already made the leap from retail-only to a mid-rise office building and could feasibly venture into residential. However, even they do not have land directly adjacent to Bendwood Park. Development spurred by City Centre has plenty of room to expand to the south and east before intruding into the neighborhoods. I can even imagine City Center and Memorial City merging into a contiguous district along Katy Freeway before a single home in Fonn Villas is torn down by developers. You are absolutely right, though. Midway needs another plot of green space. That patch of astroturf is so crowded on weekends!
