Maria writes, “I have always enjoyed the view of the downtown skyline from the bridge crossing White Oak Bayou southbound on Durham from the Heights. If I took a quick turn to the left, I could see downtown shrouded in clouds or sparkling against a vivid blue sky after the arrival of a cool front. They've built a big old apartment complex precisely blocking the view! Of course the plex is in the flood zone, yes it's on piers, but where will residents move their cars when the next flood comes? Progress? I don't think so. Why can't we have buffer no-build zones along the banks of the bayous knowing what will come?!”
Gisele on the crosswalk by Glassell School, “I really enjoy bringing out-of-town guests here. I love that there's an effort to encourage walking with the crosswalk over Montrose, but wow do drivers zoom right through it all the time! So yeah, combining this email with a gripe hoping that there is more attention given to these stopping crosswalks. Drivers, pay attention!”
Barbara writes, “19th Street in general -- it's narrow, crowded, not well-lit, people park along it, sometimes taking part of the lane because there's no paved verge and it's all wet and muddy. Now, 20th Street has construction on it so even the Metro is diverting to 19th Street. Can't wait until the 11th Street narrowing for the bike lane goes in and makes all this even worse.”
