travelguy_73 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sorry if this has already been posted, but we (people working in Williams Tower) received word a few weeks ago that Hidalgo Street from Post Oak to Mccue (two blocks) is to become two-way in mid-February. This morning there were signs in the lobby with a February 23 date. For people who work in Williams and Lakes on Post Oak, this will provide another much-needed option to Post Oak and 610.I'm not sure why they don't just make the entire stretch two-way, as it would be another alternative from Sage to Post Oak, but I'm sure the city has its reasons. I have no idea how they are going to sign the street, and I haven't seen any signal light changes, but I guess those will come pretty quickly now. There is also the issue of how the Hidalgo exit and southbound 610 feeder road come together at Hidalgo/Post Oak, as it is already a horribly-planned intersection.

travelguy_73 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 All the signs I have seen say February 16th.The presentation signs in Williams have a little white piece of paper over the original date, with 23rd on it, so I guess the date slipped a bit. But whatever, since it will happen this month regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
