$230,000 + $500,000 = $730,000
To reverse a PEDESTRIAN SAFETY project that originally cost $100,000. How hostile must one be toward pedestrians to pay nearly a million dollars to make it less safe for us? And for what?
Update: Houston Public Works told me this afternoon the cost of the reversal project is about $230,00. It's undoing road work in December that cost $100,000. The city also is spending an additional $500,000 to repave this part of Houston Avenue with new asphalt.

An object lesson for the new Mayor on the dangers of reductionist approaches to public policymaking. Infrastructure is complex; it requires thoughtful consideration, and it pushes back when coerced. Hurried process leads to hurried execution and unintended negative externalities.

Here is Houston Ave where Whitmire removed new pedestrian infrastructure. They hit a pipe &this river has been running for 2days. The silt you see in water is undermining which means water rushing out of the pipe is pulling from under the roadway. $$$$ FIX & WASTE.

It’s possible that despite how painfully accurate and well reported it is, my favorite part of this article is the description of the mayor as a guy who “loves cars, firefighters, and police,” which could also describe any toddler in America.
The tough-talking former state senator John Whitmire loves cars, firefighters, and police.
Critics say he’s taking Houston backward.

It's worth adding that killing this program disqualifies Houston from even applying for more of the kinds of federal grants that are bringing almost $40 million to a revenue-capped city.
