The South Canal is back, baby! Below is how it was envisioned to snake around the street and freeway grid in 2002. I never get tired of referring back to this old thing.

Texas Tower: 47-Story Office Tower At 845 Texas Ave.
arisegundo replied to democide's topic in Downtown
I can't remember what it was but you could definitely tell from the repeating patterns that it wasn't natural stone. The cladding took about 4 years and was completed just in time for Ike to blow off a panel or two.- 2,216 replies

George R. Brown Convention Center Redevelopment, Office Building & W Hotel
arisegundo replied to Sunstar's topic in Going Up!
I hear this in regards to making the existing tunnels ADA-compliant, "too expensive." What's changed since the initial excavations? More underground infrastructure? Environmental regulations? -

"Enron Field Heights." It references and yet is simultaneously grossly insensitive to local history. It's perfect.

Elan Memorial Park & The Westcott Memorial Park On Westcott St.
arisegundo replied to Urbannizer's topic in The Heights
Regarding the second phase at Westcott and Arnot: What's left of Memorial Club is still being leased by Greystar, and the lady in the office told me on Saturday (3/5) that the complex will be around at least through the end of '17.- 172 replies

One of those graduate student projects included a ped bridge connecting the circular trail to the north bank. Without removing Franklin, that would be a bridge to another pit of darkness and pee-smells. Or it could be a Rosemont Bridge-type thing that connects to both the bank and the Franklin deck above.
-
The east side of the lot has been turned into no doubt lucrative paid parking for now. The bayou thread has me sad that there doesn't appear to be any will to ever remove the Franklin section that overhangs the bayou's north bank.

The bridge is two way, unless there was a recent re-striping. It would become more vital if the Smith bridge goes, the Aquarium expands over Preston as they are threatening to, and/or if Central Post really takes off.

Seeing as the new ballet building sits right on top of "Water Street" and the post office owners (Lovett I think?) haven't announced any plans to move Franklin, those streets aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It's a nice thought and one that's been on the books for a decade and a half... it just didn't happen. You could get rid of the Smith bridge by forcing inbound traffic right onto Franklin then left onto the Congress bridge. The effect on the bayou trail lighting wouldn't be very dramatic since you still have all the other streets cantilevered overhead.
-
The 2002 Master Plan calls for something vaguely similar to your thoughts, with a "Water Street" (squint and you'll see it!) snaking along the south side of the bayou. I'd be disappointed if the cool ruins were wiped out for a generic grassy bank.

Access to the patios at Magnolia and Kryptonite/Ministry/Eagle would help, as mentioned earlier. That new-meets-old staircase pic I took is from the latter place. It's still blocked off and probably needs to be rebuilt on their side to be used as anything other than a fire escape. And just like the rest of the project, keeping the lights working and the trails mud-free after flooding will be absolutely critical. They are trying to keep the very low trails that lead to the new section from the west clear, but the sediment is so deep it ends up looking like brown snow plowing. And the link to Allen's Landing needs to be restored ASAP. Personally I love the urban grunge/ruin porn look of this new segment. You can walk right up to the Donnellan crypt now. And for the time being it's refreshingly pee-smell free. Just a hint of bat guano in the air.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beyonddc/5073722055 We can dream. But the expanse of the Tarkett plot seems incongruous with such a multi-level center, which was plopped onto 5.5 acres in a very dense part of DC (and right next to a subway station). You could fit four of those into Tarkett if you forgo the typical Houston salt flat of parking.

http://www.landandfarm.com/property/Oliver_Street_Property-1583824/ This 2.75 acre site sits between Tarkett and Target, and is catty corner from the missing segment of Summer that would connect the two areas. A connector road between the south side of Target and the north side of Kroger would go through this plot. It'd be a great spot for residential.
