  1. Technically not "going up" per se, but this is another major district coming to West Dallas. Think it makes sense to bump it up to Going Up.
  2. I don't think Fifth Ward should really cover Near Northside. They have very different developments going on. Super Neighborhood 51 covers most of Near Northside and Super Neighborhood 22 covers most of Washington. Anyway, here's the new addition, viewed from downtown.
  3. Although I think this project still feels unnecessary to me, I do like they are trying to fix problems with the original design. For example, the eastbound exit to Taylor is pulled back further which should help with people having to cross several lanes over to Taylor (Target side). Also looks like they try to smoothen out the ramps coming from and going to I-45.
  4. Latest schematics of the project https://ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot/get-involved/hou/i-10-heights-white-oak-bayou/072622-schematic.pdf https://ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot/get-involved/hou/i-10-heights-white-oak-bayou/072622-schematic-sup.pdf
  5. The dumpling place across the street didn't last long either and it had a pretty nice interior too!
  6. That's great! Yea, there needs to be some sort of connectivity here.
  7. Either way, they sound opposed to this San Jacinto/Fulton connection.
  8. The request states several things: That the bridge idea was a no-go with Union Pacific That a modification of the Hernandez Tunnel allowed traffic from Burnett That the TIRZ does not have anymore money to take on another project such as the new tunnel Other projects in the area render this tunnel useless
  9. So this is saying that they don't even want the tunnel to connect San Jacinto and Fulton. As a Northside resident, I think this will be a mistake. We need more connections and more access to downtown, not less. I do agree though that widening Fulton from 2 to 4 lanes isn't even viable.
  10. I remember how excited I was about this project in 2015 but it seems nothing really came of it. I rarely see anyone here, even though it was renovated. I guess it's just used occasionally?
  11. They are tearing down two homes across from Buff Brew? Do we happen to know what project that is in relation to?
  12. Here's the official website: http://www.park8htx.com/ Here's a person discussing the project: https://kelliekeese.com/park-eight Where are our HAIF investigators! There have to be better renderings than these. Looks like this is Park Eight?
  13. Wait, does the bike lane currently keep going up Polk St. and connect to Austin St.? This might be something new I hadn't seen before.
  14. I don't see Finn Hall surviving, at least in its current state. It's dead during peak lunchtime hours when it should be full of office workers and much to my surprise, was even dead in the evening after hours, when we expected people to be at the bar getting drinks. It was so bad the past few evenings we gone that the singer/guitarist they hire to play live music leaves after about 5 songs because there's literally no one else in there, so he's definitely not getting any tips.
  15. They laid down the final markings. Sure enough, they didn't coordinate with Bike Houston so these brand new street markings will only be there for a few months.
  16. No, it's currently on the ground in the flood plain. This is actually before I-45 closer to Houston Ave and Studemont.
  17. https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/get-involved/about/hearings-meetings/houston/072622.html?fbclid=IwAR3ivAMnO24msSi1KLOH91bSzdS2tlL7EEZqpf_CPlTbdtYtgXRQgG3fHK4 First Ward residents are concerned of the increased noise this would have on their area.
  18. I know many residents in the area and we would frequently go to Spring Street with them. I think it fit the area well. I also think most residents would also agree not to make it club-y. lol
  19. Very exciting!! Can't wait to go
  20. With this news, it has to be dead right? This is where the station was going in. Damn!
  21. Right, he's saying it irks him that the resurfacing project isn't related to the bike lane project, so they'll have to remark this brand new road fairly shortly. I really hope that they find a way to make both work. The bike project is literally waiting on TXDOT approval but I don't see why they don't go ahead with the non-TXDOT segment while the road hasn't been paved yet.
  22. I can't possibly imagine traffic that was once on I-45 coming through my neighborhood to downtown. The idea of removing I-45 and channeling it into 610 would face backlash from almost all sides of this debate. The residents here wouldn't accept it.
  23. This is turning into a damn circus. I feel like everyone's backed themselves into a corner. My bet is this project moves forward after the midterms.
