Saw an article in Houston Chronicle about Hempstead Highway but it is focused on the portion on the other side of 610 all the way to 99.

They are planning to do one similar in Spring Branch between Addicks Reservoir and White Oaks Bayou.

Sign appears to be at Cavalcade @ AIrline.

 

 

Don't get too excited, I remember reading something about this before and along the red line it's sidewalk improvements only. 

 

I did find this PDF from the a public meeting held in June 2018

 

The TLDR is this from Airline to Irvington

 

I'd rather the buffer be 4' and sidewalk 7' instead.

Days of the week. Monday is day 1. 

I thought it was 3 times weekly flight? I can't find any information on it being 4 times weekly.

In any case, I wouldn't be surprise if the next major Nigerian upstart flew one here in 2025.  So I wouldn't count out the Queen just yet. 

Ethiopian Airlines is scheduled to start Houston service this year with 787. It will be IAH-LFW-ADD. They chose Lomé and not Lagos as a stopover, not sure the reasoning behind it, but hope it becomes a success.

If we're to have a new commercial airport, one in the west side of the city makes more sense than one in Conroe. Hobby is on the south/southeast side of town, IAH is on the north/northeast side. There's nothing on the west side. It takes an hour or more to drive from places like Katy, Fulshear, Richmond, or Rosenberg to both Hobby and IAH. Its even worse during rush hour.

Perhaps Houston Executive or Sugar Land Regional will become a commercial airport someday in the future.

There are new renderings in their website now.

According to BPI Realty, In-N-Out will open a location at 806 Katy Fort Bend Road at the Y Shops at Park West complex, which has already broken ground.
