Guess COH is giving residents a consolation prize for no park. There will be a Green Wall erected at this location. COH will build--Midtown Management District will maintain.

COH still has plans to renovated lower Westheimer. council District C Kamin says the project isn't funded but COH will seek grants from HGAC.

Mayor Turner's project One Safe Houston has now had 70 million dollars invested in it. Councilman Kamin quoted HPD stats from Early 2023 as 12% decrease in violent crime.

District C Council Kamin reported pickle ball courts are available in Gray street Multiservice center and Cherryhurst park.

...are they... going to fix it?
Of course.....when there is money in the budget for it-
That is the big hiccup with bike lanes within Montrose; Montrose TIRZ can partner with COH to bifold but not maintain. If there is a Montrose Management District, this would be the time to step up and offer to cover maintenance.
I'm not ever sure COH has a way for people who have been sentence to community service; to actually sweep the bike lanes.

I heard District C Kamin mention a Legislation bill called " Death StarL bill. It impacts " home rule" IOW what Texas doesn't regulate, Houston can.
It seemed complicated and far reaching and effecting ...labor...permitting...insurance....Does @nyone has details?

I attended Neartown meeting last night. I heard District C Council Kanin explain that COH had only one bicycle width street sweeper- to help maintain lanes. That poor ole sweeper, is broken; cost of a new one: $50,000.00

This is when you wonder why properties that are closed for years and owners probably paying mega property taxes don't rent to a business like 1/2 price books at a discount. The "going" price of rent is prohibitive within Montrose, but 1/2 rent would give the property owner partial payment of those property taxes.
IDK but as an example, places like those buildings along Tuam, either side of the Mercedes place/ Sunny's.......don't think I've even seen them open. From the outside looking in; seems like useable property -not being used.
sigh, my " pie in the sky" hopefulness is in overdrive today.

Ten years ago- or so, When Mayor Turner had all the historic districts do a "do-over" Avondale had to start over...51 %...still not easy to accomplish.
I'm not sure why you label non owners second class.
I thought about the notion of " anti construction" - There are many empty lots within Avondale that never seem to get bought for new development. In my twenty years here I've watched, good serviceable historic homes torn down to make room for four cookie cutter town homes......ugh. So maybe somewhere, somehow that might translate to anti construction. IMO Houston is a huge place, why are historic homes the first thing on developers radar? It doesn't matter.....once those houses are gone, they're gone.

Okay
i do live in an historic designated neighborhood in Montrose getting that designation was not easy.
This is a new process- I will go out on a limb and say: I doubt it will be an easy process.
The thing to grasp IMO with trying to conserve certain neighborhoods is the plain fact that when those neighborhoods are gone....they are gone.
-
Okay...........but There is some sort of "alliance " or something that has named officers and does presentations..............I just took it at face value that it was a revived MMD
-
You are correct but it was revived in 2021- I think........
For the most part the same ole same ole -
I heard a presentation from them on Neartown zoom.
I think I posted somewhere that I couldn't understand why MMD was so cagey about who the president was.

City Nature Challenge is an annual international bioblitz where cities engage in a friendly competition to see who can gather the most observations of nature, find the most species, and engage the most people. This is a 2-part event that starts with an observation period (April 28-May 1) and an identification period (May 2-7). All you need to do to take part is find wildlife (plants, animals, or any evidence of life), take a picture (note the location), and share your observations through iNaturalist!
Last year, the Houston-Galveston team ranked #1 in Texas for number of observers and #1 in the country for species observed! (We also ranked #4 in the WORLD for species observed!) Help us win yet again this year – we especially need help with more bird observations! Contribute to science by documenting the biodiversity that makes Houston so special.

Where is the Montrose Management district in all this?
The Montrose TIRZ always posts about being able to "build" but not "maintain"
The MMD always made a big deal about it being able to maintain the projects it wanted built.
