  1. 11th & Nicholson Looks like they are placing these on the bike path curb.
  2. All lanes on Hempstead at 12th are now open after 6 months of no workers present, maybe the whole project is complete? I saw some workers on 11th this week but I don't go down that way.
  3. I bet traffic time would be 0 if we tore down the highway. I think that's the argument the article is aiming for.
  4. I drive through this intersection daily. The issue with 11th St. at TC Jester is there aren't any turn lanes, so traffic gets its own turn to turn left, but if a car has to yield to oncoming traffic in the left lane, then it backs up cars behind it. The same applies for right turns on red, 8 cars turn right but the 9th doesn't, blocking another 5 cars who could have gone. It was like this before the construction.
  5. Widening Highways Doesn’t Fix Traffic. So Why Do We Keep Doing It? Maybe the point isn't to fix traffic?
  6. Cyclists are on Heights Boulevard more often that you are, that's for certain. It's pretty pathetic to not have sympathy for someone literally risking their life to ride a bicycle in a dedicated bike lane.
  7. https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/Demographics/2019 Council District Profiles/Washington_Avenue_Memorial_Park_Final.pdf I think this area could be its own forum.
  8. Highline Park in NYC is really cool. From its wikipedia page: The park became a tourist attraction and spurred real estate development in adjacent neighborhoods, increasing real-estate values and prices along the route. By September 2014, the park had nearly five million visitors annually, and by 2019, it had eight million visitors per year. I think the Pierce Elevated should be kept, it has potential to become something never done before.
  9. Can a railing be built that is strong enough to stop a bicyclist from knocking it over but light enough for debris to knock it over in a flood? And cheap enough to replace it 🙃
  10. There is a 58 page thread with 2.9k replies about the project.
  11. Photos from the past week, uploaded them in chronological order but may be showing up out of order. They were working to finish all day yesterday.
  12. Saw this sign post in Timbergrove yesterday, not sure what the impetus for this ordinance is or who it will effect, but the boundary is interesting as Wynnwood and Nashua do not meet, and the 1200 block of Bay Oaks is two blocks west of Nashua.
  13. The Houston Dynamo Football Club is expanding its presence in the East Downtown district with a new club headquarters. https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2022/08/31/dynamo-dash-club-headquarters-eado-office-building.html
  14. Hopefully no one was in there at the time. Especially with hot oil or hot stove that would be a bad accident.
  15. How big can a shopping center be on a lot this small?
  16. "Around the same time, the final design for 11th Street will be released. Construction for the 11th Street project will begin in October with completion in February 2023."
  17. Maybe that's why there are so few direct flights.
  18. First Floor is being closed up. Third floor patio is having work done.
  19. It's going to be an artifical turf field for lacrosse and soccer.
