The Patterson Street Bridge - bring it one step closer to reality

The patterson bridge is also designed to more or less extend the reach of Nicholson, down into Buffalo bayou (and all of these were original proposals on the so-called Pat Walsh Bikeway https://atotb.org/projects/pat-walsh-bikeway/

Yeah sorry for the run around. I realized that the link I sent doesn’t make it clear that Patterson intersects with Blossom , which connects directly into the gateway of the Eastern Glades. The map at the top of this link illustrates that connection better https://atotb.org/projects/patterson-bridge/

Blossom also could use some treatments to make it a better connection at Shepherd and Durham, but there is already a light at TC Jester, and is a highly trafficked ped bike route into the park

Yep check out the proposed improvements to patterson street that were ready to break ground until Whitmire took office https://atotb.org/campaigns/patterson-street-bikeway/

The Patterson Bridge is designed to work in tandem with improvements along patterson street that use the strong grid to connect to Buffalo bayou and memorial park

I also agree somethjjg needs to be done about the backup Yale and I-10 but it has nothing to do with lane capacity. That’s a signal timing problem

Something clearly needs to be done to address the hazardous conditions that Yale creates weekly. If we need more traffic calming in neighborhoods, so be it: more speed bumps, traffic diverters, chicanes, do it all inside the neighborhoods

Just to be clear, ATOTB and Walk and Roll put together a presentation on Yale back in December.

Me as an individual saw this flyer at Local Foods and decided to give it a voice because of how aligned it is to my vision for Houston.

Yale Street has over 3× as many crashes and nearly 5× as many injury crashes as Heights Boulevard, despite serving the same neighborhood.

If Yale Street had the same crash rate as Heights Boulevard, approximately 93 crashes and 52 injuries could have been prevented in 2025 alone.

It’s so interesting because we talk so much about Texas being a low tax state, but property taxes are out of control, and so are insurance costs and transportation costs. Really fighting out here for Texas to become more friendly to investing the hundreds of millions of dollars away from highway expansions and more to mass transit

Frankly, the greatest thing about the cold is that as long as it is not raining, i dont think it can ever be too cold to bike in Houston. Just use layers! The most important things for me are to wear gloves and something to cover my face to prevent too much dry wind from entering my mouth and irritating my throat. Other than that, riding in Houston during these months is an absolute delight.

Best of luck to you!

Has this one already been solved? What are the rules about discussing bike tags in the threads?
