trymahjong Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The PWE apparently is considering a few changes-- including the possibility of green planting season if the Civic club will agree to maintain the plantings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Forgot to add that PWE is considering changes to this small triangle median at Genesse street and Fairview/Tuam. Again the possibility of green plantings if the Civic club agrees to maintain the plantings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trymahjong Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 guess I can give a few updates The Avondale Board was approached by COH on possibility of adopting the "M" median at Elgin/Westheimer and Bagby plus median at Genesse & Fairview/Tuam. Proposed roadwork would change up those two medians and city would put in fill dirt and Civic association would design green space (with COH approval) and then maintain the green space. Avondale did the paperwork and submitted in May. In July Board became aware that Montrose Management District had plans of it's own-- The "M" part of the statue will be taken down and donated to GLBT museum and the median will have new statue that has it's own lights. There are several other locations for this new branding also The details are still in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trymahjong Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 I saw after the street repairs ( Westheimer/Elgin- Bagby) the small triangular island where the “M” statue was taken down has been cemented over. What happened to plans for new art piece for that location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just speculation, but maybe the powers that be are concerned that a new art piece might be damaged when equipment is brought in to start the rebuilding of Lower Westheimer. I hope that eventually something of interest goes into that space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 COH/PWE probably will begin construction West of the triangle as the handicapped access have already been installed. But maybe you’ correct— only a bus stop is proposed for the triangles far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Oh my......there is talk that COH might take the right hand turn lane at Bagby (going south) and Westheimer; reclaim it, and turn it into green space. This raises my hope that the “M” statute or maybe something might be erected where the M statue was. Green space is so very hard to come by, even if it tiny, I am really excited.

I've come pretty close to closing the slip lane myself by blocking it and putting a bench in 😄 I don't know why Bagby gets so wide at Westheimer right there. It is incredibly awkward. It took me loudly complaining for nearly two months to have lane striping put in after the reconstruction. The official answer I got was that the contractors were supposed to do it and didn't. It was a freaking mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 This little awkward nib was spoken about in the reconstruction plans for lower Westheimer. 3,499 SQ FT RESTAURANT EXPANSION/REMODEL 1-2-2-A2-B '12 IBC SPK/F yes, Public art was also discussed and Avondale Civic ( stewards of that plot) were on board also. The talk todo something for the weird turn lane are coming from COH city council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trymahjong Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I would write the email. I think there might be a tiny amount of discretionary funds available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 This intersection was brought up at Neartown zoom. The right hand turn lane onto Westheimer off Bagby headed south will be closed off. This project was part of District C community input study on quick things to be done to promote pedestrian safety. Potential plans call for removing curbing and barriers placed to close off turn lane. At the zoom, the idea of removing all the concrete beneath the turn lane and returning it to Green Space that would increase the area of median where the M statue once stood were brought up and discussed. Monies are limited and so far the proposal of recovering green space is not funded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
