    I wonder if this is what they are meaning by a vertical power center:http://uacdc.uark.edu/work/the-vertical-power-center-prototype-development

    In 1980 there were around 10,000 billboards. Recently, in 2008 almost 900 were removed; 67 in 2010 and 2011 which leaves around 1,500 in which most are within city limits. This year there has been talks of a new deal that is going to see the removal of 140 more. So all in all, there has an 85% reduction in billboards across the city. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/City-eyes-deals-on-billboard-eyesores-6013365.php

    There is an app called TowIt. Seems to work fairly well: http://www.citylab.com/tech/2015/05/remove-badly-parked-cars-with-the-app-tow-it/394043/

    From the article: "Part of the agreement is that Metro can negotiate to buy some of the property back if it decides to build a rail line in the future. The toll road would not consume the entire width, leaving room for rail."

    PanAm and TWA both flew into IAH. As for (terminated) international airlines: Cayman Airways China Airlines Pakistan International Airlines South African Airways There are probably more, but those are some off the top of my head. Edit: You just beat me too it KinkaidAlum!

    Question: Will the eastbound train at ADLA/Rusk have signal priority where it cuts from the right lane and banks left to meet up w/ the westbound track? And awesome video ricco67!

    The N700-7000 series is double-ended. Here is a link that shows a typical 8-car set. Just scroll down about 3/4th of the way down and it will show you the set-up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N700_Series_Shinkansen

    I don't think this is a good approach either. What I meant was I don't foresee too much of a change in attitude until traffic truly worsens, which in turn will force more of a conversation about using/expanding mass transit.
  22. urban909
    These aren't necessarily "PR", more attributes that will/could lead to a changing perspective on mass transit: 1. A generational shift (i.e. Millennial's) that have moved away from owning a car and need/want to rely on alternative transportation options 2. Worsening traffic conditions that will force people to reconsider how we get around the city

    Go to State Let Construction Projects and click on September 2014. When the window pops up click on Harris county and you will see the file CCSJ-0500-03-572. I can't get it to display on my computer at work but maybe you'll have better luck.
