As development continues to fill in from the inner city outwards, those areas will get upgraded. I wish Fannin coming in from 610 would get upgraded already. It needs to be a signature gateway in to the city and more specifically the Medical Center, but in due time this will all happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm asking for too much, but I realllllly wish Westheimer between 610 and Beltway 8 would move in the same direction. Its legit shopping center after shopping center for miles. It's sad because this stretch is one of the densest areas in town. I still see tons of people walking along Westheimer in the tiniest sidewalks between the 8 lane Westheimer and the sea of parking in front of strip centers. I'll probably go as far as saying, I see more people walking on this stretch of Westheimer than I do in midtown/ museum district, etc. Just this morning a cyclist was hit and killed on this portion of Westheimer. There is a person hit/ killed every month on that stretch of Westheimer :/ 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the heck thinks an 8 lane street is normal in any city? The fact the city sits back and does nothing but repave it is a slap in the face of every person that tries to commute in that area by walking or transit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods, can we get a "fantasy street redesign" thread somewhere? I don't want to (ahem) derail this one any further, but mannnn 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it is seen as perfectly normal in a lot of places in America. And it's terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEES?! Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 That looks great! Even though they have to put these up pretty high, it looks like they’re going to do a solid job making it feel welcoming from street level. It looks to me that they’re incorporating the greenspace lawn at a height that probably isn’t high enough to put a structure on, but it will be more easily visible from the street and invite people in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
