Bagby looking good

Posted on | June 27, 2012 | 10 Comments

Thank you, thank you, thank you Innerloopeders. We just confirmed from our source that the Bagby reconstruction will continue and talks to add a third lane of traffic to Bagby are gone. You all raised your voices and let the city know that you want a walk-able, urban Midtown… and it worked.

While Bagby is being designed to accommodate future growth (and there are still some minor tweaks/problems being worked out behind the scenes)… the threat of having a third lane of traffic to Bagby is gone. We have been told the project is moving forward as designed, and that the tweaks the city is now asking for are minor and should not have a dramatic impact on the project.

Again, thank you all for calling and emailing city officials. You had a direct impact on this and we’re excited to hear that the city is now sticking to the two-lane plan.

    Fantastic. A special thanks out to Howard and the blogs helping to nip this in the bud.

    When I lived inside the loop, it broke my heart that every improvement (looking at you HWY59) was centered on letting Sugar Land commuters get to work 5 minutes earlier.

    I just gave up on Houston. Now I have a fresh hell to deal with.

    Wanita sangat suka berbicara melalui telepon, mengobrol berjam-jam dengan tetangga
    sebelah, dan kebanyakan tidak mau diam. We hate detours!

    Britten comes to the determination that the only way
    to move forward is to accept the situation: where this is the
    type of problem that would be the first impediment in front of
    the character, Awake looks elsewhere for story ideas.
    But why do we continue to hate? But every once in a while I do have this sort of cranky thought.

    I love to bake and cook. http://www.forexsuccessfultraders.com – Today, Chief Trader Armando Martinez goes into some detail about the
    FxPM™ software and what traders should look for when getting
    familiar with the matrices. “The regional rate box has allowed us to offer
    a lower rate for shipping, and we like to save money for our customers.
    The Tommies have about five other players who could also step up and play major
    roles in a game on any given night. Dacă se va întâmpla acest lucru,
    dacă se va încheia un parteneriat ruso-european, mai degrabă
    ruso-german – în ruseşte Bruxelles se traduce mai degrabă prin Berlin – şi
    nemţii îşi vor duce fabricile în Federaţia Rusă,
    în momentul acela nemţii vor da un semnal: investiţiile se pot duce spre Rusia.

    Therapeutic abortion, as defined by Professor of Gynecology at Universidad Católica, Enrique Oyarzún is “the interruption of a pregnancy, in search of the death of a
    fetus by means of external methods, for the health of the
    mother”. The president and the Democratic Party are on her side.
    Why is it that we find ourselves in circumstances from which there does not appear to be a way out,
    even if we are rational, smart, and skilled in making decisions?
