Gidge Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Does anybody know what is going up at the SE corner of Fry and Mason? The new sign says 100,000 sq ft available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Im not sure where exactly you are talking about because Fry Rd. and Mason Rd. do not connect. Can you tell us what building it is by perhaps?And welcome to the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corner I'm wondering about is diagonally across from Beck JH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I think it's going to be a retail center (okay, okay, urban psychos, STRIP CENTER ). No details on who or what's going to be located in the center, however. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the basic Pizza Hut/Hot Wings/etc, etc type of setup.

Talbot Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 they intersect? Whoa, shows how much I pay attention. I thought they both went to FM 1093. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomv Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Yes, it's kind of odd but Fry Rd curves and starts pointing due west and eventually intersects with the Grand Parkway. Not sure why they did it that way. Something that is desperately needed in that area, by the way, is an extension of Barker Cypress south of I10 through Bush Park to Westheimer Parkway and the Westpark Tollway. This could take a lot of traffic off I10, since motorists would have access to several other east west routes. I understand the Corps of Engineers won't let the county build a road there. As it stands now, the only direct north south route between Hwy 6 and the Grand Parkway is Mason Road. Business on the Westpark Tollway will suffer as a result.

Part of the problem with traffic in the western stretch of developed Harris County is that they built the two reservoirs (Addicks and Barker)and didn't really gauge how much the area around these two dams would grow. Roads were cut off and now you have development all around these areas but with limtied access to main arteries such as the Katy Freeway or even Westheimer.FWIW, I was told by a friend who works for HCTRA that there is a serious effort to secure funding to built an extension of Memorial Drive west to Kingsland Blvd. And of course, as part of H-GAC's overall mobility study, they've looked at building a toll bridge across this section of the George Bush Park. I've not heard anything concrete about this idea, though, beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Judah Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Nah, they don't need any more roads through the park. I 10 will be finished soon anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is just a commuter corridor is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah,Westpark won't have anything except for at FM 1464 wich is already developed with a Kroger. The other spot would be at the GP, but there are plans for an evential stack interchange there.The extension of Memorial Drive and Barker Cypress is part of the City of Houston Major Thoroughfare and Freeway Plan. The Barker Cypress link I think is critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 ^^When is this going to happen. Also, what does Fry Road look like now, north of FM 529. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
