    I would like this to serve every Heights resident. I would want a (true two-way) loop that serves destinations that constitute the majority of movement for residents in the Heights This would provide a single-seat ride for people to ditch their cars, stimulate businesses, and create an experimental microcosm of multimodal transportation that could be used for planning around the city. It would at least make the Heights a more accessible tourist destination for Houston residents and out-of-towners as well. A key element of this route would be the nostalgia buses, since they pay hommage to the history of the Heights. I would also venture to say that many more people would be willing to ride a "bus" that looks like a streetcar purely because it *looks* more reliable. This would help create a culture shift towards a multimodal way of walking. Imagine families across the heights going for a long evening walk, getting dinner or doing some light shopping and being able to ride the streetcar back home. The route could probably use some work, and I would love any specific suggestions... As far as frequency, it would need to be no less frequent than 10 minutes to make it reliable, and the round trip should be around 30 minutes. I am going to get in my car one of these days soon and stop at every one of these proposed stops to get a sense of how long it would take to traverse this loop.

    I made a post on LinkedIn about a week ago: "Imagine a circular bus route using nostalgic streetcar design connecting 50k Heights residents (~0.5 mi walk). In a single seat to most destinations in the Heights and to the red line toward Downtown" I tagged Kimberly Williams (Chief Innovation Officer at METRO) just for kicks, and she wants to schedule a call about it. I know this does not mean much in terms of materializing anything, but it is cool to see the leadership being engaged with the community. Just out of curiosity, what does everyone here think about this idea? I went ahead and sketched it up on Figma as well, so take a look!

    I would be much more ok with Black Tea than chocolate Milk. A little bit more like what The confluence of White Oak and Buffalo bayou looks like? Or at times, the Buffalo Bayou near the East End. It is amazing to me how different the water can look like. Always seems to be more chocolate milk in the summer / after heavy rain events.

    I’ve thought about this as well. I feel like all it would take it to dump a bunch of granite or some other type of rocks to help with filtering and reflection

    64,737 square feet for a luxury full-service dog-friendy experience in central Houston: • Co-working offices • Dog daycare + boarding • Veterinary clinic + pet spa • Off-leash park + agility course • Training Academy • Pavlov's Bar & Cafe • Rooftop event space Attended info session today at a warehouse where they are building out most of the materials for the building. Reported that once permits are approved by the city and liquor license gets approved, construction of Phase 1 (including two low rise buildings) could be completed within 90 days. Expected completion June 2022. Phase 2 which includes high rise ~8 stories building will take 18-24 months to complete future phases to include additional coworking space and a multifamily buildout https://dogworx.com

    Do you know anything about what the concept will be for Picnic Supply Co.?

    Style of the structure reminds me of the Houston Farmers Market, anybody have more information on this project?

    I walked by Building 1 today and saw one of the corner spaces on the northwest corner of the building under work. It has what looks like a little to-go window. When searching for the La La Land Cafe on Google Maps, it seems to drop the pin right on this expected corner unit. Hoping to see this open soon as there is still no proper coffee shop in this development

    Mala Sichuan opening up soon! This one will be facing the trail as well. You can already see the big wooden rounds in the entrance of the restaurant. Today the wood was covered with plastic and you could already see the interior shaping up nicely

    This honestly does look great, but it does remind me of this funny meme https://ifunny.co/picture/this-is-midwest-culture-visit-our-historic-downtown-the-downtown-aIUWBJ7T8

    Another thing that may be off topic is that there aren’t a lot of small food marts/convenience stores. It would be awesome to have more scattered around the neighborhoods for essentials that don’t warrant a trip to the grocery store. For example, the area around the MKT Development could desperately use one of these, especially with the Standard apartment complex and the rising Fairfield on Shepherd. Any ideas on how I could rally up some of the neighborhoods to request a local market to pop up around the area?

    Also, any updates on this “Swift” project?

    Piggibacking on the question regarding a bridge connecting 6th across Waverly and Rutland, what about a pedestrian bridge connecting Patterson on the south side of the bayou onto 6th street. It. Certainly MKT would benefit from all the residential in the south side of White Oak, currently it’s about 1.5 mi walk to go across the hike and bike trail (unless you pedestrian your way across Shepherd, yikes)?
  22. springcityparts
    Is this pretty certain that this project is stretching south into Montrose Blvd? On the link you sent it only shows as far south as White Oak

    Is this where the new Life Time gym is going up?

    What’s the future look like for the vines? They’re all brown after the long freeze. Not just on 59 but all over the city. Does anyone know if they will recover?
