BeerNut Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 What project is everybody looking forward to being completed this year? Also any predictions/dreams on lots/buildings that currently haven't been announced. I'll go first... I'm looking forward to Discovery West being completed. My prediction(wishful thinking) is that the old downtown Holiday Inn is sold to a company that actually has a plan to do something with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 It was be great for painted bike lane designation on Taft from Hawthorne to Gray to be completed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookey23 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I'm hoping construction actually gets started on the corner of White Oak and Studewood. It's walking distance from my house and would greatly improve the walkability of that area. If done right, that development could turn the area into even more of a pedestrian friendly hub than it already is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me I’m wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward to the completion of Lynn Wyatt Park and the continued renovations to Jones Hall. This summer the hall is slated to receive completely new seating. I’m anxious to see what the re-design will look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's the plan. Honestly, I'd rather have an automatic parking garage surrounded by retail instead of a massive empty lot. Centralized parking would make that whole strip on White Oak infinitely more walkable. I feel bad for the houses that are directly across the street from it, but YIMBY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Uh......I guess if I'm honest.......having both Montrose Blvd improved ( yes please have bicycle lane, wider sidewalks, more tree canopy) PLUS Westheimer improved ( ditto bike lane, metro cut-outs, canopy shade and public art.....all the way from Main to Shepherd) with Montrose TIRZ getting it all done with efficiency, accuracy, and grace.....WOW! That would be my #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Montrose Blvd improvements aren't scheduled to be finished til sometime in 2024 and that is only the northern portion. I would like to see W. Alabama St. finished in '23, at least up to S. Shepherd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
