Stop killing traffics routes in the center of town. Some of us actually live here and need to get around. I need to drive from South Congress to above the capitol and Past UT with the best possible outcomes. There are no plans for public transopraton that will actually solve the needs for locals to continue to function/shop/eat/get laundry/got to the post office... in the Actual City. ( And yes I walk/ride my bike/uber plenty. But that one rail line will not go to a grocery store!)
Yessir!

After to structural beam collapse that occured two weeks ago while pouring the 4th level of the 303 W 15th St. garage, they disassembled all remaing forms & support beams. The
hole was repaired last week and the concrete removed and re-poured. Today new support beams are being delivered. Probably to replace the deficient beams previously used.

Then you should hope that central ATX gets upzoned...if we get residential high-rises in Judges Hill and west of WC (non-student, that is) there is more of a chance for HEB to set up shop somewhere near downtown. From what I've heard they're looking for constant density all year round.

I like motorcycles in theory (I rode one a fair amount in Asia in one of the cities I lived in), but what scares me is people who are reckless on them. Beyond that, drivers who aren't observant add more risk to them as well. All around, it's tricky because of careless individuals on both side of the equation, and that's the challenge for me.

Motorcycles are like the jetski's of land. They are a public diturbance.. Everyday I see motorcycles cutting traffic by riding on the shoulder, lane splitting, riding on the sidewalks, bike lane and running red lights. Its like these motorcycles drivers think the rules of the road don't apply to them.

You don't have to be reckless. Even a fender bender accident can be deadly.

^ Fair point.

And the kiddie train in Zilker analogy is a hilarious and painfully sad point...

I would like to say that they sure are doing a good job in this area creating new very good looking buildings while also still being able to tie them into the older uglier ones around.
