    The ol' Museum District standard

    Yep, I was the chubby guy on the blue All City.

    I agree, but it's worth noting that this lot already had such a building until 2015.

    Golly I love me some trail-oriented development.

    Very last-minute notice, but there's a rally ride today at 10AM, starting at Regions bank. I think daily rallies might be needed. I'll head up there tomorrow as well, and every evening this coming week. Feel free to join.

    He did go on a bit of a tirade about "anti-car activists" from the previous administration today. If anybody from the ultra-pragmatist Turner administration is an "anti-car activist," I wonder what the guy would think of me.

    Is this multifamily? Or just a bigass townhouse-style house?

    It was a hell of a day to be on a bike, though!

    I think some of it is also the terrible default property setup with the store occupying the back corner of a parking crater. A pharmacy + convenience store model can certainly work fine in a city, but it shouldn't occupy a full city block.

    Ah, so that's what X Houston is doing. An homage to Heaven on Earth.

    Freudian slip?

    METRORail Turns 20

    I think that's the presupposition we are all fantasizing about.

    I've been in twice since it opened. CVS wasn't exactly a happy place but good lord does Dollar Tree just suck the life out of everyone inside. Azkaban vibes.

    I doubt it, given the proposed Mandell stop on the University BRT line. That said, I could see and would support their doing something similar to the modal filters on Main at (e.g.) Anita.

    The Chronicle's reporting on this and METRORapid have been particularly bad. They haven't been great on NHHIP either, but these two have really stood out as almost Click2Houston-level lazy. They need an infrastructure-beat reporter who is actually interested in infrastructure enough to want to learn more about projects and their contexts than whatever it takes to fill 700 words.

    I think you're misrepresenting things a bit here. The new medians protected drivers, too.
  17. 004n063
    That would be awesome.

    You mean the park (which Google Maps calls "Park")? I don't think that's part of this project. That said, it should be something more than it is now. Keep it a park by all means, but it shouldn't be just blank grass and a couple of trees. Great for dogs, though.

    Wow, I did not realize how new WOMH was. Makes sense. That said, I still think a North Main routing would have been smart. It would have given more of the Heights access to decent transit and would have catalyzed more TOD along the corridor than we've gotten with Fulton. Nothing terribly wrong with the Fulton routing - I just think that, like the Purple line, it suggests a very limited view of transit's role, which is something we continue to deal with at the upper "vision" levels.

    **smirks smugly in bicycle** (Look, we don't get a lot of opportunities to gloat here. Just let me have this.)

    I think it really should have gone up N. Main in the first place. It should have always been the main way to get to WOMH (and a connection to the eastern Heights) but the awkward turn at Boundary preserved it as a drive-to spot.

    There were medians on the north and south sides of the intersections, which created pedestrian refuge in the center. There were turning lane median cuts about 150 feet south of the intersection that enabled turns.

    Some of the blame here goes to the red line routing.
  24. 004n063
    Are you suggesting that supply and demand affect housing prices? Blasphemy!

    He said pedestrian safety is the responsibility of law enforcement this morning. In other words, **shrug emoji**.
