hbg.50 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Yes, you’re right about the HAIFr drama. By my last count we’ve had two casualties of war on the forum! Apparently over thread names/organization and not enough love for illustrations provided. I personally blame @monarch for the latter as that’s his department to pass out blue ribbons for the best illustrations! JK Monarch! 🤣 I know you’ve been busy with the SEC hoopla! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbg.50 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Thanks for the pics! What I love about this project is it is designed for weather events, and there was no mention of Hurricane Beryl damage in the video. 4 hours ago, Amlaham said: Really hoping the Montrose Blvd rebuild gets approved, because its looking rough adjacent to this site. “Rough” is a big stretch, but I do support any beautification of Montrose Boulevard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a major street in America's 4th largest city, this stretch of Montrose its most definitely rough. Theres no side walk on the western portion, and the one and only sidewalk is extremely narrow and not protected from multiple curb cuts (5 total). Also, Houston's busiest trail/ Buffalo Bayou trial has an entrance directly in front of this site. In this 0.3 mile section of Montrose... theres only 5 overhead street lights. This will be an International landmark (1/7 world wide), people from all over the world will visit this ....come on dude, we deserve better aesthetics. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other real issues to complain about. Let them finish construction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidCenturyMoldy Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) I don't think we can blame the construction. It was pretty bad before. Here it is in 2020: Edited August 2 by MidCenturyMoldy 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a fairer objection if the context weren't a recent cancellation of a pedestrian-bike-drainage-canopy upgrade project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only been paused, correct? It could still happen with modifications. If you want to see “rough” I would submit Hardy from 610 to Downtown.
