    I agree with the opposition in that some of these designs going forward that reduce the number of lanes are not ideal. However, in the massively car centric culture we have in this city, we can afford to make decisions that make environments more inviting for pedestrians and bicyclists at the expense of drivers. We have many many years to undo the damage that our city has endured from a car centric culture. People will get used to the 11th street turns. I’m very sure everyone will find a way to get home. And once they do, they'll go on a walk and they’ll enjoy the calmer streetscape on 11th street

    Exactly what I thought

    Is it confirmed that’s the name? I take that to just be a mural suggesting that this bar (along with the rest of the oversized patio bars in the vicinity) aspires to bring whatever they perceive to be an Austin-like vibe to the Heights

    The mayor put a pause on something that was for all intents an purposes a closed issue, done deal back in February. Pretty sure the pause wouldn’t have happened without the combination of their change.org petition, and the letters of opposition these people sent to the city. The opposition has 1,683 signatures and the proponents have 898 currently. It’s easy enough to sign even if it feels like change.org has never had any effect on anything.

    @wilcal shared some information about this bridge on a different thread:

    Definitely! It’s been planned for a long time. It’s even part of the Houston bike plan. But with no timeline or funding. We’re working to tell the city it’s time to fund it and build it

    I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. Radom is a machine. Reinventing this city one thoughtful development at a time

    Why god why

    Community Impact reported fitness facility Mayweather Boxing will be opening up at this development as well. Build out for La La Land Kind Cafe is almost complete. Ran into some of the workers taking pictures around the trail and they told me it should be ready to open in 3-4 weeks. Central City Co-Op (currently on 420 E 20th St) is closing its doors this Sunday and moving to an undisclosed location. I’m going to type into existence that they are moving to M-K-T (based on absolutely nothing).

    Remarkable. Hoping for some retail here as well though. This angle of the rendering looks all offices. If I didn’t know any better I’d say it looks like a building for a college campus and I’m here for it

    Looks like they have 3 spaces open for Leasing. The renderings in the first pic in addition to the plant wall facing north seem like there will be significant upgrades to change the look and feel and turn this into a more modern desirable destination. I walk my dog around this building a lot. It’s an interesting location with a lot of nature behind it. Honestly they need to have a rooftop garden with dining here. Those views would be very very impressive

    Great to hear about 501 N Shepherd Dr. Would love to see a link or any plans for redevelopment. I guess 2025 is not that far off and right on time for the redevelopment of the entire Shepherd/Durham corridor. I ride by this warehouse often and think it would be excellent space for more development. On a similar note, and this have been mentioned here before, I know M-K-T will expand eastward too. Triten calls it "Swift", and they will redevelop the warehouses on 621 Waverly St. They were built in 1909 and formerly served as meat packing and distribution facility as Freedmen Distributors. Hoping for some industrial lofts on the 4-5-story building and maybe a small grocer. Once these are complete, this will create a semi-contiguous 1.5 mile stretch of pedestrian/bike oriented activity here that will be a new crown jewel for the Heights and the city. Now if they can go ahead and build pedestrian/bike bridge across Patterson and/or Rutland then we will be in business. If anybody has any links or intel on more specific plans for either 501 N Shepherd or 621 Waverly, I know most everyone here would love to see.

    Perfect spot for another hotel here!
  23. springcityparts
    I’d be down for a rooftop party up there before everyone moves in. Or after. Don’t matter

    Does anyone have any fun updates about this property? Run by it all the time and don’t see anything new

    So much fun to think about connecting the city like this. When I was working on this, I did find that circular routes can be a little bit of a no-no, since most people are going from A-B, but nice to hear that METRO may consider something like this. I think that there is something very romantic about a single-seat ride around these very historic parts of the Heights. I wish there was a way to even hit Downtown, Memorial Park, and even Montrose, but then it would start to get super long. @Justin Welling just for fun I added your suggestions for hitting Washington and Sawyer Yards. I had originally indeed thought about the Washington portion as well! In addition to the amenity that this would bring to Heights residents that will use it to increase their quality of life, do you think that for people without a car, this route will also help bridge connectivity gaps already in place? I added the current METRO bus offerings, and I do like that the design largely connects areas that are *not* connected by any single seat rides.
