cityliving Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) I took these photographs from neither, I don’t own a drone and I don’t feel safe in a helicopter. I took these photographs from the top of a building that I was given permission to go up to.

talltexan83 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'm still not clear how access will work to this development when using the trails along Buffalo Bayou? It's a shame they couldn't include some stairs or a ramp that would come up under Franklin St. Seems like it could be a nice gateway to the project. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagby is getting a redesign that will add a new cycle and pedestrian zone, but it stops at Franklin. Maybe it could be extended by the developers? Only real access point is via George Bush Monument across the street. A ramp bypassing Franklin would have been great though. This should be done by the end of 2021: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Franklin itself could really stand to be redone. There's no reason for it to be anywhere near as wide as it is. It's not on the Bike Plan, but throwing some protected bike lanes on there would really help with circulation between the trails and the surface streets. Some street trees would also be nice. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten about the Bagby redesign.......that is great news and should offer some nice continuity for those bikers along the bayou looking to access the Post HTX. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked at one point almost a year ago and it was basically a "we don't have the money allotted to fix it" situation. Pretty sad tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 huge parking lots are required in a development like this. The concert venue going inside is a 5000 seater, there's not enough parking in the area when you add in the needs of the theater district. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jermh Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Not to say that they shouldn't build a garage, but if they do, I hope it has a residential tower attached or on top of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, the last I saw, the concert venue is planned for a later phase, along with a planned hotel conversion of the office tower. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 This parking lot and the hollowed out Barbara Jordan post office hosted the Day for Night electronic art and music festival in 2016 & 2017 (https://bit.ly/39WeU4e). I hope that the new Post Houston development can bring the same energy and vibe as those awesome weekends spent in downtown Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure phase1 retains the surface lots, but I'd guess future phases will include a parking structure to replace at least one of the surface lots, and the other surface lots will be replaced with usable space. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I get the “inconvenience” some people feel. But I only have real sympathy for those with handicaps. Otherwise walking a block or two shouldn’t be an issue. ESPECIALLY downtown. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I got to work the Bjork Digital installation...and met her that way. It really was an incredible experience seeing all these cool innovative ways to experience her music and visuals...the virtual reality room and video blew my mind me and another worker did sneak away to watch her dj set but wish it would have been a vocal performance as well!

Just imagine if in a future phase they add apartments or office space around the main building, it's a completely new district/neighborhood. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
