    It looks like a good spot as it can easily connect into the 290 corridor or, with a little more work, the Hardy Tollway corridor.

    Link to a KUHF story about station location study for high-speed rail. http://app1.kuhf.org/articles/1386612554-Study-Looks-At-Possible-Site-For-A-Train-Station-If-High-Speed-Rail-Comes-To-Houston.html

    My family and I took the Red Line from Northline Transit Center/HCC to the Museum district and back this last Saturday. There wasn't a lot of people getting on/off heading south at 10am until Preston station, then it really picked up (passenger wise). On the way back it was beyond standing room only (about 12pm) until about Cavalcade, then it started to slightly thin out until we got back to the Northline Transit Center/HCC. They were only running single cars, but they could have easily had two-cars to accommodate all of the people. Obviously it is too early to tell if this is going to be typical for a Saturday or not.

    My concern is that there seems to be a lot of focus/pressure on Dallas wanting/getting 3 stops; downtown Ft. Worth, DFW and downtown Dallas. Whereas I have only seen mention of Houston only getting one stop way out in the suburbs...

    Like IronTiger stated it seems like it would be hard to navigate a steamboat with all of the bridges. However, it'd be neat to have one moored out along the bayou as part of an exhibit of some sorts.

    Even though the tunnel option is taken off the table, so to speak, it looks like there is still an option to turn the Pierce Elevated into a parkway?? Edit: I found my answer. http://www.ih45northandmore.com/docs3/Segment_3_Alt_11_400scale.pdf Interesting to see how they would fit and extra 6 lanes on the East End side.

    They have two types of planes (772ER and 77W), soon to be joined by a third (787-9), that can make the journey non-stop: AKL (37°00'29"S 174°47'30"E) IAH (29°59'04"N 95°20'29"W) 65.4° (NE) 7415 mi Total: 7415 m

    http://investor.shareholder.com/copa/overview.cfm Back to the topic from the OP, it would be nice to see NZ (Air New Zealand) flying here. However, depending on arrival/departure times, there might be a lack of available gate space at Terminal D.

    IAH Vs. DFW

    urban909 replied to wxman's topic in Planes

    By getting off one plane and getting on another. Those locations are easily accessible through Hong Kong.

    IAH Vs. DFW

    urban909 replied to wxman's topic in Planes

    CX and KA are part of oneworld. China, therefore, is covered just fine. New Zealand was/is about connecting 2 large Star Alliance hubs.

    I say take it a step further: http://www.automatedroboticparking.com/more-common-overseas-automated-parking-garages-are-popping-up-in-the-us/ It could be a part of the new Nau Tourism Center or part of the double-decker bus tour too. "Come see Houston's first automatic parking garage." Add in some cheesy "City of Tomorrow" slogan and bam...immediate tourist attraction.

    Very cool. BTW, what is Watershed Market (mentioned on pg. 2 of the slide)? Ran it through a search engine and didn't find anything.

    This is SN22's transportation presentation from 2010. The trenching concept starts on page 14. http://sn22.org/download/SN22_Transportation%20Pres_072810.pdf

    Why would they order (mostly) wide-body planes? And for reference, their average fleet age is lower than that of UA. (11 vs. 13.5). http://swamedia.com/channels/Corporate-Fact-Sheet/pages/corporate-fact-sheet and http://aerotransport.org/php/go.php?query=operator&qstring=United+Airlines&where=91636&luck=

    In short...no. Downtown (where I work) is a little better at around 2%...
