It really is amazing.  I moved downtown in September 2017 and this project was underway.  You can see date stamps on the concrete, 2018, 2019, 2021.

Same. Is this even a popular road?

He was hoping they would build a bridge across White Oak bayou connecting to the Heights area to bring more traffic by his new place.

I think the spot is perfect for a bridge, if he owns the Fairfield site on the other side then it makes sense to connect the two directly.

I think the Astrodome needs a fresh coat of paint.

It won't be completed until the 2021 regular season is over? 

The title should be changed to just BBVA Stadium, as the compass was dropped a while ago. Also, PNC Bank bought BBVA in 2020, what are the chances the name changes to PNC at some point? 

Is that spray paint removable or permanent?

The new span will have two lanes in each direction along with shoulders and a five-foot sidewalk between Runnels and Ruiz when it opens in a few weeks, based on the latest schedule.

 

Nice

Roast & Brew is a new coffee shop which opened along 19th St. I couldn't find anything about it on here, but it is a brand new building.

Also, Velvet Taco is opening up a location in 2 weeks on the corner of 20th and Sheperd. That is across the street from the Taco Stand which should be opening soon as well, which was mentioned above.

City still doesn't do great on bike detours ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I make my own detours 🤠

How high (or how fast would the flow rate have to be) would the bayou have to be to cause the bridge to collapse? We could see a tropical storm/hurricane next Monday/Tuesday. 

I took these photos during Imelda last September.

So anybody see that pdf posted in the I-45 thread?

I was just going to say the same thing.

So... does posting this online hurt their confidentiality notice 🤐

30 mph is the minimum speed limit in Texas, and plenty of residential and mixed streets have fewer stops signs than they need. The existence of double yellow lines as evidence that it's a good through street is a weird tautology - it's treated as a through street therefore it must be a good through street. A better question would be: is its value as a through street high enough to outweigh the benefits to residents of opening it primarily to them.

 

That said - this is an experiment, and you're absolutely correct that more stop signs would be helpful. 

I grew up in Pennsylvania where 15-20 was the speed limit on residential streets. Roads that have a double yellow line tend to be 35 to 55, so it's a significance to me. The street I grew up on had stop signs every block, whereas the other streets were every third block or so, so it limited traffic on my street. 

How do they make this permanent? 

I went on a virtual ride on McKinney via Google Maps and noticed three things about the street that indicates to me it would be a good thru street. First, double yellow line on the road tells me it is more than just a residential street. Second, no stop signs along the street tells me it is a thru street. Third, the speed limit is posted as 30 mph. Those seem like better ways to fix this problem than closing it off.

I'm a little confused as to how people in wheel chairs will access the pedestrian islands for the bus stops. And does this narrow traffic down to one lane, because it bottlenecks in these area to one lane?

Will something be place in the grooved part to bridge the gap? It looks like both sides have the groove.

New? Design

The fact that Post HTX included the word "mall' in their post tells you how behind this developer is. No one wants to hear the word mall in 2020.

I don't know if the developer runs their Instagram, but they were quoting a movie from 2001, so yeah they are behind a bit.
