Process is needed to REVERSE Road Diets
The City of Houston needs to craft a procedure that will allow property owners and other primary stakeholders, such as churches and businesses, in corridors unhappy with a proposed or implemented road diet to cancel a project or reverse it.
This is clearly what the 11th Street resistance needs now as construction draws to a close.
Testimonials
"I'm a local Mom, driver, commuter, & occasional biker. It makes zero sense to me. I don't want my teenage kids riding in those lanes & have warned them about driving there as well. I'm all for slowing traffic & making streets safer for all, but these changes are so absurd. The bus Island @ Heights Blvd/11th is the perfect example." Allison Hartley - Houston Heights
"It was an alleged ‘raceway’. 19 years driving down this road and I’ve never felt anyone was racing or driving in any absurd speed. I’ve never seen a wreck or anyone pulled over for a ticket either. This was simply a desire by our horrible officials to make our city appear more ‘green’. Look what they are doing to Shepherd and the streets downtown. It’s ridiculous! They are limiting the flow of traffic yet allowing huge increases of people, via these high rises, into the inner city. This just causes more congestion and frustration among the people." posted on NextDoor
"And now 10th St has lots of cars flying down. Thanks!!" Dave Saba posted on NextDoor
"As a cyclist I don't even like this. There is already too much traffic on 11th. This just pushes more traffic onto quieter streets that I would rather ride on. Whoever pushed this through had their head firmly planted ..........." posted on NextDoor
"Congrats to whomever got paid off to implement this absurdity in the name of slowing traffic to a HALT in a "growing" city neighborhood. Taking 100 cars spread out across 4 lanes down to 2 lanes will absolutely slow traffic to a grinding halt. Bravo, the plan to slow traffic, create road rage and stress, drive traffic into 30MPH side streets and give the bicyclists a dangerous place to ride is complete. " Tonya D on NextDoor
"As a cyclist I don't even like this. There is already too much traffic on 11th. This just pushes more traffic onto quieter streets that I would rather ride on. Whoever pushed this through had their head firmly planted up their own read end". Allan I
