Wow that's big! West 7th 2.0, coming right up.

I think it's more like W7th Extension.  It almost, but not quite, abuts the W7th area (a bit of Linwood in between I guess).  When the car dealers are gone I think it will eventually become one "super district" with a section of White Settlement Road in between that could potentially morph into a Magnolia/Race Street strip.  It will be interesting to see if anyone suggests a road diet for White Settlement to foster that kind of renewal/development.

 

 

 

I'd love to see a Road Diet BUT after the White Settlement bridge turned a 2yr project into a 6yr project I would imagine HUGE fear and opposition to any road disruptions for adjoining business etc etc

The zoning chang for the Larkspur project passed unanimously. Not much discussion or anything new was said. Construction starting Q1 next year.

I think University from Camp Bowie to White Settlement Rd needs a road diet as well.   Maybe they will do that after they raise N University.

That's another full block of possible development. This area might looks insanely different in even just 3 years or so.

I think that there are alternates in that area, but it would be good to have a connection with the Trinity Trail to the side streets.

University already was reduced from 6 to 4 lanes in that stretch, right? I do not believe that it should be reduced to 1 lane in each direction, it carries too much traffic for that.
