Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Urban Planner/AICP. I will travel wherever the cheap airfare blows me. Opinions are my own.

Well that's certainly one way to start the F1 season! Can't believe it was Verstappen crashing out of qualifying

@cfparma16 @3Sentinel4 I mean, we're a decade out. Things can change.

@WilsonCalvert @3Sentinel4 Oh interesting. I had assumed they’d be like the ones on the Katy Freeway with access for both

Let's say it all together now: "One more lane!"

@HOUrbanist @gratifihouston @HoustonChron Wonder what green and purple would do with signal priority in downtown. It's approximately as fast as walking.

HOUrbanist@HOUrbanist·2 Mar

@gratifihouston @HoustonChron (Not so) fun fact but we still haven’t recovered all the lost riders due to losing signal priority. That’s ultimately what caused the decision to be reversed. The red line was dropping ridership so fast it was unbelievable

The upgrades to Houston's transit system will run from June 7 through July 11, and are estimated to cost between $9 million and $10 million. houstonchronicle.com/world-cup/arti…

@samwell_gnarly_ @mattlanza Fuck it, build I-11 next to it. It's the only way to be sure.

They should add one more lane to the Katy Freeway

Wilson@WilsonCalvert·1 Mar

@3Sentinel4 They'll be HOV/mass transit only. At this time no paid access for single occupant.

English

Sentinel@3Sentinel4·1 Mar

@WilsonCalvert They are priced. That's what managed means

English

Wilson@WilsonCalvert·1 Mar

@3Sentinel4 Also, no tolls on the managed lanes anymore, so no congestion pricing for suburban commuters.

English

Wilson@WilsonCalvert·1 Mar

@3Sentinel4 Adding managed lanes on the NHHIP is still adding lanes. Have to wonder how much value we're getting considering the price has swollen to $1500/Harris County resident. Woodlands residents should be paying for the whole damn thing considering they're the only ones benefiting

Quick context on the Dorsey trade. Using @AnalysisEvolved’s g+ metric, Dorsey was the 130th ranked fullback in MLS last season. Franco Escobar and Daniel Steres were higher. Felipe Andrade was 10th best.

@GallantSays @mattlanza I remember reading part of the justification for the delay was the completion of some of the infrastructure improvements funded after Harvey. But yeah, it's crazy!
