ig2ba Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Thought this was relevant:http://www.houstontomorrow.org/livability/story/coh-study-calls-for-wide-sidewalks-and-new-street-classifications/Direct link:http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/DevelopRegs/mobility/InnerWestLoop.htmlPersonally, I think most of the improvements they proposed are band-aids, and will not be that helpful overall. No added lanes and no grade separation is proposed. Not even any redesigned intersections. Thinking about the next couple decades, I think we have to start talking about these things in the Neartown and Upper Kirby areas if want congestion to be manageable in 20 years.

trymahjong Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 thanks for those links--I go to the neartown meetings monthly. I was surprised at the last meeting to hear that making Westheimer 3 lanes from Bagby to Shepherd ( I think). I had remembered Westheimer being 3 lanes when we lived in Houston in the 70's. Increase in traffic is supposedly what changed it to 4 lanes. . . . now all these years later, it will be put back to 3 lanes to help with traffic flow. ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
