16-Acre Mixed-Use Development On South Post Oak Ln.
WestUdweller replied to TowerSpotter's topic in Going Up!
Lighting, sidewalks, streets, etc are just about done. There has been an additional lane added to the Northside. Suppose it is for turning in and out of. Any chirps of what exactly is about to happen in this area?- 50 replies

Houston Traffic Signal Timing Is Atrocious
WestUdweller replied to WestUdweller's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Hmm another question I have after driving San Felipe this morning. Some lights are flashing, some working, and others are completely off with no flashing (SO DANGEROUS). Are all lights in the city supposed to be equipped with battery backups to keep them flashing red in the event of a power failure? San Felipe at Fountainview and San Felipe at Augusta were just totally off today with no backup flashers. Someone's gonna get killed like that. -

Houston Traffic Signal Timing Is Atrocious
WestUdweller posted a topic in Traffic and Transportation
Has anyone else thought our city has exceptionally poor light timing? I am at my wits end trying to get someone to fix a few intersections that cause giant clogs on my morning and evening commute. They require some realllllly simple fixes that would save all the commuters 5-10 minutes if corrected, each day. Why is it impossibly difficult for the city to figure out? Have they just said "screw it" with COVID? The recent freeze only seems to have made the bad turn into ugly. I drove down Westheimer from the Beltway to 610 last weekend, Saturday about 8pm, and I kid you not, hit a red light at every intersection but 2 the entire distance. That is A LOT of intersections. It was a painful experience knowing the light immediately ahead was going to turn red as my current intersection light was turning green. After awhile it became almost comical how poor the timing is. What could have been a 35 mph cruise the whole way down turned into a 45 min nightmare. I experienced a similar feat driving San Felipe between Voss and the loop. Hit almost every light without fail. Driving the speed limit only seems to make it worse. It appeared some people had outsmarted it and knew if they went 50 in a 35, they could make every light!!! Dangerous as heck. Anyone know how to program some traffic lights? Hit me up. :) -
16-Acre Mixed-Use Development On South Post Oak Ln.
WestUdweller replied to TowerSpotter's topic in Going Up!
Looking for any sort of update on this land or The Tanglewood Medical along post oak lane if someone has a nugget. The area along Post Oak Lane next to the Wynden has been in a state of construction/disrepair for a few years now. Sidewalks all messed up, dirt and mud everywhere, half put up construction fences. Trying to figure out what is going on there.- 50 replies

Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
WestUdweller replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
How about just replacing the existing sidewalks down memorial with new smooth ones that are wider? -
If you're a baylor folk, on the sicem365 boards there's lots of waco development discussion. Amazing how much the town city has changed in the last 10 years. There are a couple large office building developments in the works. AT&T has been reported to be one of the potential tenants. Could this be a clue? http://www.wacotrib.com/news/business/waco-among-cities-to-get-at-t-mobile-g-service/article_c124f87e-06f1-5b9d-87cc-075786330f17.html

BG Group Place sky deck is on their 39th floor so it looks like they are around 38-40 from the pics above if it is the same floor height. Just a quick observation though.

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
WestUdweller replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
Walked through GreenStreet this past weekend and there were people all over the place. I had no idea there was a new Salata next to the recently opened Cafe Bene. Both of those will get a lot of foot traffic on weekdays from the law school, 1301 fannin, etc. -

Elan Memorial Park & The Westcott Memorial Park On Westcott St.
WestUdweller replied to Urbannizer's topic in The Heights
Work has been slow at this one. Sure hope there is a grocer going. Lot's of rumblings in the past couple of years anyways. Might be the ugliest new apartment complex anywhere across town. Brown paint and hardiplank. Elan/Greystar/whatever should be ashamed.- 172 replies

I mean who didn't expect this? Doesn't even register as a bump in the road to me. Just elected officials representing their constituents so they can say they did something/tried.

Elan Memorial Park & The Westcott Memorial Park On Westcott St.
WestUdweller replied to Urbannizer's topic in The Heights
Wow, freaking awesome pictures. Both the Elan project and the Pearl Project are huge. They look ugly as sin right now up close but hopefully they'll get the color schemes sorted out. Sure wish both of them had gone with brick.- 172 replies
