    Just experimenting... the first few times will be shaky. I noticed the biggest problem with me posting pictures is that it doesn't show you just how lively the site truly is. I felt some type of motion was needed. Normal

    Yea, the first tower is actually Aura at College Park in Toronto. So this is bogus?

    At first I was skeptical, but I actually think there is some validity to it... Check out the website: http://www.elevatedhouston.com/

    Uhhhh.... is this even real? http://swamplot.com/why-our-condo-towers-will-be-so-much-better-than-everybody-elses-and-why-were-building-3-of-them/2014-05-22/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trRORK_fnlE

    Probably stupidity...? My friends needed to get somewhere quickly after our bike ride and their car was parked on Stude. So the quickest way to get from the bike trail to Stude was to take the bridge from where we were at the time. I wasn't until we were actually on the bridge that we realized we made a huge mistake. Absolutely terrifying the entire way.. I'm surprised no one's fallen off that bridge yet. Anyway, this is how that development will sit on this lot: Based upon these schematics, if Elan Heights won't even have access to White Oak, then there probably won't be repairs to it then.

    Me! Hahaha! Do it on the Taylor bridge all the time. Unless you are with a big group of bicyclists, it's strangely the only safe way, in my opinion, to go along the bridge instead of being in the traffics way. The sidewalk is not that narrow. With all these white ghost bikes around town from bicyclists killed from being run-over, it definitely feels like a safer alternative to be on the sidewalk. Most people use the bridge's sidewalk to go from the Woodland Heights to the bike trail along Sawyer Heights St/Spring St. The scary one which I refuse to ever do again is the Studewood bridge over White Oak Bayou. I didn't realize how narrow the bridge's sidewalk became and the guard rail was below my knees.

    haha! I totally agree. I was basically trying to say that these streets are small neighborhood roads, though you could arguably say White Oak can handle a little more traffic. Either way, in their current state, it's going to be like driving off-road if the city doesn't at least make Greystar repair part of White Oak here.

    I can't seem to find it now but Swamplot was saying that the variance was asking to be closer to the road near White Oak and the Taylor bridge.
  15. Triton
    I completely agree.

    IT BEGINS. All the wood planks have been torn off on the south side: It's a little hard to tell in my picture but there are a lot more wood supports where the windows used to be located.

    thoroughfare: A main road or public highway. A heavily traveled passage, such as a waterway, strait, or channel. Taylor and Watson are certainly not thoroughfares. Studemont/Studewood certainly are since they are built for major traffic but Watson is a small neighborhood street that Taylor goes into. Taylor is only a four lane road for a small portion there and turns back into a small two lane road in the warehouse area. Now there is talk of expanding Taylor street but Taylor is nothing like Studemont/Studewood, Yale or any of the other real thoroughfares. Neither is White Oak nor Usener St.... the two roads this thing will actually be built on will not be able to handle this development. This development is not connected to Taylor in any shape or form... Taylor is on an elevated, disconnected portion that this project won't be apart of. White Oak is in absolute disrepair here so if they do get the variance, I certainly hope the city makes it a condition that they repair this road, just how the city got Walmart to repair Yale. Check out the map... this development will be built on two small roads: The main point I'm getting at is that the city should make it clear that both Userner and White Oak should be improved to make this development feasible for these falling-apart small streets.

    Um, what major thoroughfare would that be? Don't get me wrong, I think this project is fantastic and those old apartments needed to go. But if people seriously think there won't be any opposition to this project, people don't know the Woodland Heights.

    Last year, I remember seeing at least some form of work being done for FPSF at this time, but I guess with the bayou construction, they will start next Monday. I'm absolutely excited to go!!

    If the Woodland Heights was upset with Morrison Heights (which I actually agree with the community), then there will certainly be opposition to this project. This thing is absolutely massive.

    I've had this site bookmarked before I was even a member. lol Never tried HAIF.com until now.

    I honestly don't know what to think of this... http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/houston/article/Opposition-to-bayou-erosion-project-grows-louder-5493631.php
