ricco67 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 My hope is that there would be free parking after 2am to allow those that are to drunk to drive to leave their cars without having to worry about tickets or towing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august948 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Saw this in the Chron... http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Big-change-coming-to-popular-area-for-bars-in-4476093.php Quote New parking meters become active May 1, and will be active every Monday through Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m -- basically all the time -- up and down Washington.The rate will be $1 per hour from 9 p.m. until 3 p.m., and after 6 p.m., you can pay a flat $7 rate, or instead pay $2 per hour of parking. A committee will determine later if prices should be temporarily changed if demand changes during special events. "This is a huge step in the right direction for the city of Houston," said Don Pagel, deputy director for the city's Administration and Regulatory Affairs Department. The hope is that with designated pay parking, the congestion and back-ups will be at least partially alleviated. The Washington Avenue Corridor Parking Benefit District, a first for the city, will funnel 60 percent of the revenue from parking meters back into improvements to "promote walking, cycling, and the use of public transportation", along with the usual street, safety, and neighborhood improvements. The other 40 percent will go back to the district to offset expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I was at the Neartown meeting last night and heard----Montrose maybe next in line-- It was noted that perhaps Montrose is not one long corridor but rather 4 sites ie Montrose blvd-West Gray, Shepherd and of course Westheimer. Oddly Fairview with it's many business and parking headaches , wasn't one of the streets mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I view Washington Ave, as any other area of the city. It's going to have its flash as the hippest place to be, then its going to die down, and places will leave. Once that phase is over and done with, you will begin to see more sustainable business' begin to pop up because the initial flash of development has created the infrastructure. This applies to Midtown, and Downtown especially. Midtown went through its initial phase of hype, and its not until now that we are seeing more stable growth because the infrastructure is in place. One very hip area right now is the East End (I refuse to call it EaDo) which is in the initial phase of growth, so its a real popular area right now, especially since the Dynamo play on that end. I see the East End becoming a sea of orange, as it becomes a neighborhood developed around BBVA Compass stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
