    Kinda annoying how the satellite imagery is still from like 2019 if not earlier, other cities are updated more frequently!

    TxDOT obtaining funds, what an uphill battle that must've been.

    I don't mind a parking garage as long as it's well engrained within the surrounding area and offers some retail or something.

    Part of my regret comes from the fact that I believe they did it backwards. This and the uptown corridor definitely warranted rail, while the east side lines were more suited to BRT, in my opinion. I disagree that there would be no incremental return. Substantially higher ridership and lower subsidy per passenger on an operational basis definitely qualifies in my opinion. Higher capacity is a plus too - the system can be in place for decades longer without needing capacity upgrades. And then the economic benefits with LRT outweigh BRT, although I'll grant that it's not THAT much more benefits (substantially higher benefits come from HRT which unfortunately will probably never be built in Houston).

    Looks cool. It is a massive disappointment that Metro is having to settle for BRT instead of at least LRT for this corridor. BRT will generate less ridership, require a higher operating subsidy per person (although with less initial capital costs) and generate less economic development/benefits for the city. Thank you Culberson. I still hope that this will be more successful than the Silver line which hasn't done well at all. Maybe after it's connected to this it'll do better.

    Do you have a source for this?
  7. mfastx
    I was gonna ask that too. Seems like very little progress/news over the last year.

    Another Texas rail project that would have been extremely useful and popular killed by backwards politics, NIMBYism and corruption. Yay!

    Not bad at all!

    I'd keep the buildings there and occupied until it actually proceeds.

    Let me guess.. gonna be replaced with a fresh parking lot. Smh.

    That was sarcasm lol. The aerial picture a few posts above is so depressing lol.

    Nice, surface parking is sorely needed in the area.
  14. mfastx
    Man off topic but what a hellish sidewalk/streetscape lol. I do like this tower's prominence in many surrounding areas.

    Looks really nice and I like the plaza out front too.
  16. mfastx
    One can only hope.

    Loving the lighting on a lot of the downtown buildings these days.
  18. mfastx
    Some of the lights that indicate the status of the reversible lane are faulty which creates a very dangerous situation IMO.

    Wow, development of those two blocks would be great!
  20. mfastx
    Now we just need some sidewalks for the streets around there, lol.
  21. mfastx
    I'm aware but thank you lol. Hopefully the 59 project will increase demand in that area and around MMP.
  22. mfastx
    Jeez, such a long way to go towards developing that area of downtown, still a complete sea of parking lots and empty fields lol.
  23. mfastx
    This building really has an impact on the skyline looking west from downtown!

    Railroads have always been granted eminent domain, this is nothing new or controversial.
  25. mfastx
    Facade looks great in that shot!
