As if cars weren’t winning enough already in Houston.
They know it’s just a podcast right?

Thanks to @MemorialCityHou for providing bike parking and also maps showing where bike parking is available.
Ran into Luke of @ride_bikes_more at Anthills today. He’s got some great Instagram content. Wish I got around as much as he does.

Not sure if anyone posted this already, but I went by the Buffalo Heights HEB and noticed @HouPublicWorks was installing pedestrian signals at the intersection. I know a lot of people put in 311 requests for this over the years. Didn’t have a chance to take a picture. – at Houston, TX
This brings the number of segments that are closed on my work commute to 3. Addicks Trail, Waugh Drive, and Holman St. The alternate route here is i10. – at Houston, TX
🧵 So the @USACEHQ decided to close the Addicks trail in the middle of the day today, with zero warning, no signage, & no alternative routes for bike commuters (hint: there isn’t one). 1/

I’m hearing that the 11th Street bike lanes and the Montrose Boulevard rebuild could be next on Whitmire’s chopping block.

Mayor Whitmire intends to tear out the recently-installed safety improvements on Houston Avenue.
(Yes, the same Mayor Whitmire who says his top priority is public safety.)
Join @MarioforHouston Sunday at 4PM to remind @houmayor that traffic safety is public safety.

I do not support removing the improvements along Houston Ave. If something isn’t working with the project, modify it, don’t waste taxpayer money. District CMs need to be included in these decisions. I will be fighting to ensure safety improvements return to Houston Ave. quickly. – at Houston, TX
New: @HouPublicWorks makes it official.
The Houston Avenue pedestrian safety improvements, installed in December, will be removed starting this month.
Background: axios.com/local/houston/2023…
ALT Houston Public Works will begin improvements along Houston Avenue starting in early February. These improvements include the removal of the concrete median and curbs on Houston Avenue that reduced lane capacity and restricted vehicles from turning into properties based on their direction of traffic. The project will effectively restore the roadway to the same way it operated previously. Restoration will improve traffic safety and mobility for travelers including first responders and METRO busses. As part of the improvements, the pavement condition of the road will also be remediated with new asphalt. In addition, Houston Public Works will immediately begin studying the corridor for proposals that will enhance pedestrian safety.

Here we go again, another day another highway widening we can’t afford.
Build more lanes -> growth happens in Katy -> Katy gets mad about commute times -> build more lanes, you want it to stop? Just put in the train already

Unlocked another becoming your dad item. Glued some soles back onto my mountain bike shoes. Only 7 years old, still another year or two of life left.
To be fair, my father would probably say it’s wasteful to have shoes just for biking…. 😜 – at Houston, TX
