skooljunkie Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 TIRZ 5 has added a project to their '23-'27 CIP. Here's the narrative per their July Board meeting agenda: Striping & signage south of Feagan to improve safety at merge with S Heights. The conversion, via restripe and curb extensions as appropriate, of Waugh Drive into a two-way roadway between Feagan and Washington Avenue. We are proposing a section that includes: 2 SB lanes, 1 NB lanes, and a two-way left turn lane Update of the Waugh/Yale signal at Washington Avenue and add a WB left turn lane. Modifications to the intersection of Waughford at Waugh to support two-way operations on Waugh. Dedicated left-turn lanes and a new signal at S. Heights at Willia/Feagan. Makes it easier for everyone to get to Spotts Park 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 If Napoleon Complex little chaad mayor lets this move forward I would be surprised. He prefers cars to not to be impeded over burdensome pedestrian/cyclist safety. He wants to take Houston back to the ancient times when he was a little tyke back in the good ole 50's and 60's.

While I don't disagree with what you wrote, let's keep the invectives in the Politics section, not in the general development threads. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I think policy discussion is often relevant in non-Politics threads, but I don't think personal insults do much to drive the conversation forward, and more likely turn off the people for whom these issues are not or have not been priorities - which people comprise a majority of Houstonians and whose open ears we need. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 What exactly are they going to do? Will there be a traffic light at this intersection? A HAWK signal for pedestrians? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install new signals at Waugh at Feagan; and S Heights at Feagen (currently there is a marked crosswalk, but nothing else) so it would help both vehicles and pedestrians be able to cross those two high speed corridors safely. City recently updated the engage Houston page to include this project, all though there are no schematics posted yet: HSIP - Waugh Dr & Willia St and Heights Blvd & Feagan St Traffic Signals | Houston Public Works (engagehouston.org) Edited June 7 by j.33 spelling error 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, please. This would also have the benefit of giving people coming in and out of HEB a fighting chance when traffic is stopped at the new light at Feagan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post j_cuevas713 Posted June 10 Popular Post Share Posted June 10 Everyone is screaming for a more pedestrian Houston except the mayor. I've never seen so much support for pedestrian improvements in my entire life living in this city. And the data clearly shows Houstonians are tired of the nonsense. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWantTransit555 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Reposted from a previous comment: Don't be surprised if Whitmire wins the next election and serves a second term. Be prepared for pedestrian and cycling improvements to be set back for 8 years. We should start figuring out how we will fix everything afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
