There is a Google Maps entry for a business called Heights Trail Icehouse located at 2453 Sawyer Heights St, Houston, TX 77007. Excellent location for the bike trail. Anybody have any more info on this?

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

From the article:

 

"Customers will also be able to order pizza from Coltivare."

And we have a winner.

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

Good riddance!

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.

a petition went live today for those who support the 11th St redesign 

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

It appears that this is a TxDOT project that did receive funding for the 2022 FY via HGAC's call for projects in 2018.

It is project number 267 from this list (it is on page 2).

Here is the application page.

I just sent a few emails to see what the deal is. 

Edit: brief update, the Cohn to Memorial Park connector had their funding pushed back to FY 2023 because of some HGAC timing thing, so this may be a similar situation. They were allocated $2.4 million in matching funds to pay for this project, though.

I'm pretty sure there is already a plan to build a bridge near Patterson. I honestly don't remember whose plan it is at this point lol.

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 

🥰Fabulousness

Perfect spot for another hotel here!

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
