    Yes, what I told you is what the plan shows. —there are currently three general traffic lanes used by all cars, buses and trucks. The plan provides 3 general purpose lanes plus a new lane for BRT buses only. The new lane is for BRT buses only, not cars.

    They aren't adding a lane for cars; they are adding a lane for BRT buses. And from Gulfton to Bellaire they are removing a car lane (and adding very wide shared use sidewalk/bike lanes, as proposed for the rest of the Hillcroft BRT route). And the sidewalk/path with which they propose to replace the existing sidewalk and bike track is VERY wide and will easily accommodate bicycles and pedestrians. PLUS Hillcroft currently has bike track only from Westward/Highstar to Bellaire Blvd? 4/10 of one mile. Metro is proposing the very wide sidewalk/bake track from Gulfton to Bissonet 1 1/2 miles. Looks like greatly improved conditions for all involved. Bicylists give up 4/10 of a mile of exclusive bike track in exchange for 1 1/2 miles of nice wide shared path.

    ^ How about a 56' plan? 6' 4' 8' 10' 10' 8' 4' 6'

    Yeah, especially considering where University Dr. would cross under the railroad --- about 17 sets of tracks. Probably in the category of "not gonna happen".

    Genuinely curious, so I'll ask again... Why do new houses on the west end decrease the island's ability to mitigate flooding and why do they increase the risk to everyone else?

    They seem rather inactive. The only events shown on their “events” page were in 2021.
  7. Houston19514
    Which street? And how wide is it?

    I can no longer edit the previous post. Why was that change made? In any case, scroll to about 49:00, maybe even 50:00 of the State of the Airports presentation to get to the airport system's actual presentation.

    Video of last year's State of the Airports presentation.

    I finally found a video of last year's State of the Airports presentation.

    This kind of stuff drives me crazy. Is it too much to expect the Greater Houston Partnership people to get the name of the hotel correct? It is Hilton Americas or Hilton Americas-Houston, NOT "Hilton of America's" (which is not even grammatically correct). And that is in addition to the ridiculous error in the narrative that HIghrise Tower pointed out, to wit: the event will be held at the brand-new Helix Park campus (I'm presuming that's an error). Either way the GHP's posting is an embarrassment.

    New video from HAS showing the construction of two new levels of parking on Terminal C parking garage (which will also connect to the Terminal D/E Central Processor building). https://fly2houston.com/newsroom/articles/more-700-reasons-be-excited-about-new-international-terminal-bush-airport

    Can we change the thread name to reflect the downsizing of this building to 45 stories? I wonder if that was just a "for-show" groundbreaking or have they actually started construction? Looks kinda like the former.
  14. Houston19514
    Care to elaborate some more? Why is that?

    ^ Interesting. I believe the Cafe Sophie space was the round space. Carousel sounds like a great concept for the space.

    Did you mistake that canvas for a central chilling station? Editor probably would have. ;-) I doubt there have been five people who have ever mistaken the Beck Building for a central chilling station. This whole conversation is ridiculous.

    Correct, it is not uncommon, especially when there is a change of composition, but this change pretty clearly has nothing to do with the very minor change in our composition. They did not change the north Texas metroplex name as you stated. Dallas-Plano-Irving is the name of a metropolitan division, a subset of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area. Neither has changed in some time. (The western side of the metroplex is the Fort Worth-Arlington-Grapevine metropolitan division.) FWIW, their combined area is named Dallas-Fort Worth.

    Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land Metropolitan Area 2022 population estimate was 7,340,118. With the addition of San Jacinto County, the new Metro 2022 population is 7,368,977. Houston-The Woodlands Combined Statistical Area 2022 population estimate was 7,533,096. With the new addition of San Jacinto County, the new 2022 population is 7,561,955. And they have renamed the areas. Metro area is now officially designated as the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands Metropolitan Area. And the Combined area is now the Houston-Pasadena Combined Statistical Area. I don't know what led to the name-changes.

    US Census Bureau recently released revised delineations of metropolitan areas and combined statistical areas. Houston metro area now includes San Jacinto County (2020 population: 27,402). Component counties: Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, San Jacinto, Waller. No changes were made to the Houston combined statistical area (other than the addition of San Jacinto County).

    Let us know when you have something to contribute to the discussion.
  21. Houston19514
    ROFL. So I guess we’re so far gone, the query of “what are we lacking” is irrelevant.
  22. Houston19514
    And yet you can't name a single thing it lacks or a single thing a new stadium would provide that NRG does not, or a single way in which NRG could/should be improved. And your "comp" tells us nothing whatsoever about NRG Stadium or your claim that NRG Stadium is light years behind the new stadiums.
  23. Houston19514
    . . . because NRG Stadium lacks . . . what exactly?
  24. Houston19514
    People with minimal observational skills can probably figure it out by reading the words carved into the stone (and yes, the building is stone, not concrete).
  25. Houston19514
    Thank you, but that tells us nothing. NRG's capacity is equal to SoFi's. Atmosphere, amenities, location, etc. tells us nothing. What does NRG Stadium need to provide a better "atmosphere" (other than a winning team, which is a different topic). What amenities do these other stadiums have that NRG stadium lacks? Guess what, AT&T Stadium rarely opens its roof. The frequency or infrequency of roof openings tells us nothing about what the stadium lacks. You keep telling us NRG is light years behind and there are many things that put it behind, but so far you've not been able to show us even one specific thing.
