trymahjong Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 There was a Metro community meeting on this last week. That center median with cutouts to allow pedestrians and bicycles to cross but not cars that was talked about for intersection of Stanford and Westheimer in Lower Westheimer improvements..... I guess, if I heard it right- that configuration will be used on all intersections along Richmond in Montrose that don't have traffic lights for the new Metro system. is that right? I've included a picture of a similar set up on Alabama in third ward. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 That would be great. These things really help at unsignaled intersections. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerNut Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I live a few blocks from this intersection...the amount of accidents here was insane before this was done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Guess this might help intersection at Yoakum and Richmond- the traffic snarl there is insane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutchcity94 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 When will construction start on this project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 There are still a lot of hoops to jump through for federal funding etc. Montrose is in #4 of four sections- surely section one will come first .... best guess ....several years.

wilcal Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 That would make sense because I doubt that they are planning on allowing too many streets to cross over the BRT line. With no rail set in the ground, easy/safe for peds and cyclists to cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 I had always heard "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" lots of squeaking about those center median cutouts in every intersection that doesn't have a traffic light,........so now another meeting is being arranged for community input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is to do all sections at the same time. Sadly, however, I think your best guess of construction being several years away is pretty accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
