Some sort of mystery structure on heights blvd? maybe a floating but stop or maybe something to just separate bike and car traffic

Was up there this morning. Currently painted buffers from Heights Blvd to Studewood, and concrete barriers from Studewood to Micheaux, which leaves me with a couple of questions:

1) Will the concrete be extended west?

2) Will the whole thing be extended west to TC Jester? (or at least Nicholson?)

As of now, the whole thing is very short, and west of Heights is where the protection feels most needed.

the protection will go until Shepherd, entire plans are here ---> https://www.letstalkhouston.org/11th-street-bikeway

Does anyone know what exactly is being implemented on White Oak? I thought this project was only going to affect 11th and Michaux, but I was thrilled to see these traffic barrels when driving down White Oak today!

I dont think White oak is being changed but Michaux is being converted to a "high comfort shared on-street" facility, So I think they are building a modal filter to only allow bikes / pedestrians thru like they have on cavalcade. 

street sweeping / cleaning going on today on the Shepherd-Yale segment

Forgot to upload these pics from a couple weeks ago. They are widening the sidewalks off of 11th and TC jester, west of the buffalo bayou trails

New pavement has been laid down for a couple days now, but there are still a decent amount of ADA ramps to install for the sidewalks and none of the safety features (pedestrian islands or bike lanes) have been added yet 

they are open now, grand opening is the 26th, they're card only until the grand opening. Got the hot daddy, pretty average/underwhelming tbh

The route could have gone up the I-45 RoW without any eminent domain issues.

I don't think you understand the desire of people in rural areas to not be bothered, especially for a project that does nothing for them.

. if it was so easy don't you think texas central would have considered that? there is significant amounts of planning that goes into these routes, its not just people randomly deciding to bother rural land owners 

Paint looks done and railing are up closer to the MKT side, on the side of white oak bayou they aren't installed yet 

love it! Washington has potential to be a very lively and beautiful street

Are there any plans to install a traffic light at 11th St. and Nicholson St.? I was headed southbound on Nicholson trying to cross 11th, it took me about 10 minutes to be able to cross with all the non stop traffic.

no, from my understanding there will be no additional traffic lights, only pedestrian islands (I imagine similar to what they have on Studewood)

drove past today, city of Houston construction sign is up and there were some construction workers talking on the empty lot by Nicholson
