Four years ago, I arrived in Texas with a mission to create places my grandparents could live by providing safe streets for all. Today, on my last day with the City of Houston, I am proud of the progress we have made.

Why can the Texas Legislature hold a 23.5 hour committee hearing on voting and then vote it out of committee but the public can’t vote past 9pm?

and most importantly, Houstonians recognize they deserve transportation that works no matter how they travel: walking, rolling, riding transit, or driving. We secured $100m from the BIL plus over $30m from TxDOT to make Houston’s streets safer

There aren't enough words to recognize everyone who share this vision and continue to work to make it come true. Thank you all.
If the best time to plant a tree is 30 years ago, be proud that we did not let another day go without planting the seeds for a forest.

Is there a word for the people you see on the bus/train every day, politely nod, at most say good morning, but respectfully don’t intrude on the quiet time? Feels like the Germans might have one?

This all day
Spoiler alert: most of the business owners on 11th are more concerned about construction than they are the design. In fact, most support the redesign. Because it's a lot easier to notice and stop at a business when you're traveling 5-10 mph than when you're traveling 35-40 mph.

+Yes we have lots more work to do, especially for ped/bike safety, but don't underestimate that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

I’m caught in an endless loop of explaining transit’s never been a criminal’s escape plan, while acknowledging the issues if transit’s not frequent enough to be that escape plan.

This...
It's a 15 minute walk to city hall from this neighborhood or a 3 minute bus ride.
Only 30 minutes via bus/light rail to the Med Center and 40 minutes to the Galleria.
If someone wants to only have 1 parking spot instead of two... that should probably be allowed.
