In addition to the Randalls. I would assume the highway reconstruction would put any decision by HEB to move to East Downtown on hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A separate project applied for a plat across Emancipation St.and is being developed by Allied Orion Group, this one is called Emancipation Eado. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 Work has started on clearing out the trees and vegetation on the southern lot. Lots of civil equipment at the site, dozers, rollers, front end loaders and track hoes in both lots. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Construction fencing is up on the southern lot, all the vegetation is down. North lot already had a fence but they are tearing up the old concrete parking lot. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ridden the 40/41 many times. I don’t recall seeing many riders get on or off the bus from Eado. So not sure adding bus lines would help anyway.

Also, aim for 5min peak / 10min off-peak headways on the 11 and 40/41, and you'd basically have circulator functionality for those neighborhoods.

cspwal Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 The 40/41 was 6 min frequency at peak before covid; it's at 10 minute frequency at peak now, and often the 40 and the 41 bunch behind each other so the frequency is more like every 25 minutes sometimes at 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll go like half a mile in 20 minutes and have two more 25s right behind you. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Sounds like the 82 at 5pm. I usually only wait 10 mins max but if I go any time during rush hour, I'm waiting at least 20 mins or more. Why can't Metro add more buses during this time period? I actually think Metro should find a way to add more buses to every route and you'd prob convince people to ride more if they saw it come more frequent.

I actually think Metro should find a way to add more buses to every route and you'd prob convince people to ride more if they saw it come more frequent. Frequency is almost everything, but in the case of the 82, 25, 40/41, and probably a few others, the lack of a dedicated lane or signal priority is at least as big an issue. If it doesn't suffer too much from "BRT creep," the University Line could go a long way toward solving the problems of the 25. Hopefully it does this, and other major routes follow suit. But that's probably at least a decade away. In the meantime, they could at least paint some advisory bus lanes and, yes, improve the frequencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I think the 40/41 could be fixed with a little smarter frequency & timing. The 25 and especially the 82 need dedicated bus lanes to be on time at peak. Richmond and Westheimer have the room west of 610, but making a dedicated bus lane where the 82 really needs it is probably politically impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
