TrainTrak Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Cars driving onto the "bike path" is also a problem across Sawyer St in the shopping center. And it always seems like drivers only look one way as they pull up to the intersection. Maybe painting a green stripe on the road where the bike path crosses those intersecting lanes may help the drivers be more aware that they are driving onto the bike path? I personally find it's safer to just bike on the road in that shopping center. I agree that the apartments are better than the warehouses. I'm glad they planted the trees there and I hope that the higher population density brings more improvements to the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.33 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 @Kevin Strickland, not sure if this helps, but when it is something that deals with creating new infrastructure projects (like getting a new crosswalk or putting in a new traffic light), the app rarely does anything with it - I feel like the pin just sits there on the map for ages. This past time, I actually decided to email 311 (311@houstontx.gov) thinking I could explain myself better than what the app allows. Once I sent it, it started off like the typical 311 app messages saying there is a case number, but then after around 2 weeks, someone from the planning department contacted me asking me for more info on the issue. I was pleasantly surprised that they were looking into the issue for me. Maybe an email to them will get the ball rolling? If you have already tried that, then I got nothing lol. Good luck with it!

Kevin Strickland Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Thanks so much for the pointers about 311 - will do! Throughout construction there were stop signs for the bike path users but never for the construction trucks! This drove me crazy but just shows what an uphill battle it is to prioritize people > cars in this city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
