    So there's three possibilities with this partnership in my mind. Ends at the Northwest Mall terminus as before Ends at the Amtrak station, full rebuilt station Still stops at Northwest Mall but with the Amtrak station as another stop

    Was just about to post this! It's a smart idea really.

    Google Earth has been updated to 7/16/2023 so very recently!

    I haven't said it's a complete failure, just pointing out the obvious situation right now. I mean I could tell Black Page Brewing wasn't doing well and it collapsed. It wasn't hard to see when Railway Heights was going downhill. As others have stated, the open air section is doing well but it always has been, even before all the new development. All these higher end places are struggling. Crawfish and Noodles is consistently dead while their Bellaire location consistently has a wait. Thus back to my original question, it just feels poorly executed right? It's like they can't figure out what they want this to be. Perhaps ditch these closed off individual restaurants and integrate a coffee shop, a high end meat market, a bakery, and a wine bar into the open air section. Honestly, the Ferry Building in San Francisco is a great candidate for what they should do here...

    After all these years does anyone else feel like this place has not been that successful? Or perhaps just poorly executed? It doesn't feel like this place has it together yet and there's always been so much space available.

    I remember that parking garage used to house old cars in it in the 90s. Anyone have photos of that?

    That would significantly clean up the area. The city set aside a few million dollars when WOMH moved in to clean up the creek but they never did anything with that money.

    Here's the latest article I can find. Texas Central is saying they are still open to business, looking for investors and is moving forward with development: https://www.kxxv.com/brazos/debate-over-high-speed-rail-in-texas-speeds-up-as-legislation-seeks-transparency

    People are sighing over a building we don't have a render of yet?

    Been since April for an update? https://abc13.com/houston-traffic-west-loop-closures-freeway-reopening-construction/13491703/

    Wow that looks like absolute garbage in the daytime. At the very least, they could have added a chrome background around the circle while still maintaining the lights. Oddly enough, the night time looks beautiful though.

    On top of what TXK said, this will become a spur (do we have an official name yet?).

    It's just from last year. I actually came across it in the same document that the planning group is proposing changes along with the I-45 redo. Go to the I-45 thread and click on the latest PDF I posted to see more details about the area. (on a trip so I can't post it here or I would).
  14. Triton
    Fairly sure we have a thread on this already. If anyone can send me the link, I'll merge them.
  15. Triton
    The city of Houston planning commission keeps mentioning a massive redo in this area when the I-45 project starts: Also, do we honestly consider this the Heights? Open to moving this elsewhere.

    SWEET!

    Dumb question.... why don't they just build the diversion but fill in that older section of Buffalo Bayou? Would potentially be more land for parks directly connected to any nearby development. I guess maybe it's not worth the cost.

    New schematics from April of last year (from City of Houston):

    NHHIP-Central-Houston-to-FHWA-Package-II-040722.pdf Hadn't seen this doc on here before. It's from April of last year, so fairly recent. It includes a breakdown of everything the city is trying to incorporate into this project including a breakdown of all the costs per section.

    I was there when the city first proposed these plans to the First Ward and Near Northside. I thought it was absolutely amazing. The level of connectivity. It was a top notch presentation and it was exactly what we all needed... from Midtown to far up north. But the push back came immediately at the presentation... the city proposed to connect Dart St Edwards St to Burnett St via a new bridge and then, as we all know, they proposed combining the two railways into a single new bridge that would take some land from UH-D. There were too many people vocally against it all.... from higher traffic down Dart St Edwards St to people worried about crime somehow magically coming across both bridges to disrupt the First Ward. To be quite frank, the people who hate change are usually the ones who show up to these events even though I think the vast majority of people support it. (The yellow line is the new train track)

    And here's a direct link from the city: https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/nhhip/docs_pdfs/Connections/33 Rail Relocation.pdf

    Christof Spieler presented this in 2020. Basically, they would consolidate the two rail lines into one right of way and have it pass over where the Fire Department and Arson Division is currently housed. But last time I attended a meeting about that, there was a lot of push back from the First Ward so have no clue if it will ever go forward. First Ward is more concerned about the horns than where the tracks actually lie, oddly enough. https://www.letstalkhouston.org/nhhip
  23. Triton
    Agreed but not at such a good corner. Storage can go elsewhere but being right on the rail, this could have been something greater.
  24. Triton
    I'm able to post there. Perhaps try again?
  25. Triton
    Why?
