City of Houston Bicycle Advisory Committee mentioned that this is the next city-focused bike project. Complete street rebuild and extending some form of the Harrisburg Trail and bike lanes to San Jacinto St in downtown 👀 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcal Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I'm glad that we can cuss on HAIF now. Was always frustrating to have the cuss words replaced with a random word instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspwal Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 That’s the road bed - you can see the side walk height behind it. That’s just how far they had to dig down to remove the rails properly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it will be a TOUCAN (or I could be totally wrong), but if I am right, It'll look like this: So the intersection will only allow right turns for cars (not straight or left) but allow pedestrians and bikes to cross safely to the Columbia Tap Trail.

And I doubt the pole would be between two directions of bike travel. After some researching on intersection design, I'm GUESSING they will split up the bike lanes to match car lanes (safer) and the pole will actually be part of an island for the crosswalk. Whoever is correct gets a lifetime supply of internet credibility! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXK Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Page 22 of the Goal Park Master Plan shows a raised median on Walker and a few other raised curbs at that intersection for the bike/ped crossing across Emancipation into the park. Calls it a EHRA Safe Crossing and I don't know what that means, but the Toucan picture looks like the right idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
