Title: Pedestrian Deaths in Houston: Safer Crossings? Description: Michael Skelly points out some dilemmas with a street design made for cars, with no consideration for pedestrians and other forms of traffic. If a road is built to be a fast road, drivers will travel based on the visual cues from the road, no matter the speed limit, and drive fast. We see this all over Houston, where the speed limit says one thing, but cars move at a totally different speed - whether that be faster or slower - based on the surroundings.

Title: Poor Planning Description: The City put all new sidewalks around this cul-de-sac, but once a person leaves the cul-de-sac, there's no where to go and they must walk or ride in the street! As Pete says, there are many other areas that should have been repaired before this street - particularly in considering routes to the bus stop.

Title: An Incentive for Sidewalk Improvements Description: Beautiful neighborhoods are often ruined in Houston by crumbling sidewalks. If the City were to repair the broken sidewalks and driveways in the public right of way, it would not only improve the appearance and accessibility of these neighborhoods for residents and visitors, but lead to an increase in the property value, and therefore an increase in the property tax, that would likely pay for the cost of the sidewalks URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nww9ONKO3U Tags: Sidewalks, Accessibility, Infrastructure, Sustainability Date: 11/27/2013 Location: Sunnyside, Houston, TX |
Title: Broken Curbs and Drainage Description: Tracy Stephens, Chairman for Infrastructure Rehab and Community Redevelopment for Sunnyside South Park Super Neighborhood, explains the construction of two different types of curbs in Houston.
