HomeMy WebLinkAboutFebruaryA project to provide pedestrian and streetscape enhancements has been given the green light by the Texas De- partment of Transportation. In 2000 the City was awarded $865,000 in Statewide Transportation En- hancement Program funds to help de- velop a more pedestrian friendly atmo- sphere in the area from City Hall east along University and north along Edloe to Rice Boulevard. Recently the City entered into an agreement with Tim Hansen, Landscape Architect and Lauren Griffith Associates to serve as team leaders in developing the final concept and design for the im- provements. "This project will help integrate two of the City's busiest street segments with the surrounding town center," said City Manager Sherman Yehl. According to Yehl, the City has its highest profile public and private land uses clustered in this area. "The planned improvements will soften the aesthetic and environmental impacts of vehicles in this area and pro- vide some traffic calming benefits pre- cisely where cars and pedestrians most often cross paths in the City," he con- tinued. Improvements will include decorative pavers along existing sidewalks and at several crosswalk locations, new benches and other street furniture, shade tree plantings and other landscap- ing, pedestrian-level lighting and a new landscaped esplanade along University Boulevard in front of West U Elemen- tary School. A focal point of the beauti- fication strategy will be a plaza in the middle of Edloe Street. While the City will be responsible for the design of the project, construction will be managed by TxDOT through the Houston office. The preliminary sched- ule calls for the project to be included in bidding during 2003. Prior to the start of the enhancements the City plans on making improvements to the roadway of the 3700 block of University during the summer of 2002. - - J- For a relatively short period of time, residents who regularly utilize the bridge over Poor Farm Ditch located at Tangley will experience a slight inconvenience. The bridge will be closed from January 25 through March 11. During this period the old bridge will be removed and three new bridges to be located at Plumb, Tangley and Robinhood will be installed. Bridges are being provided through the office of Harris County Commissioner, Steve Radack. Arson program provided funding In January, 2002 the West U Fire De- partment received a check in the amount of $2,000 from FM Global, one of the world's largest commercial and indus- trial property insurance companies and risk management organizations. The funds were awarded to the WUFD as part of FM Global's Arson Grant Program and will be used for the acquisition of materials for the investi- gation, prosecution and the prevention of arson crimes in the City. The WUFD has taken the initiative in the fight against arson and the preven- tion of fires. The new and improved Fire Prevention Unit along with the acquisi- tion of the requisite materials will have a positive effect on the end result - the prosecution and prevention of arson crimes and the overall prevention of fires - not only in West U, but also in the immediately surrounding communities of Southside Place and Bellaire.

With all the people I know who have moved to Colo- rado, California and Washington, the thought occurred to me that all the fit people have left, leaving only us chunky folks in Houston. Certainly, I could carry around a few less pounds, and that makes me think about options for losing them. The most obvious, of course, is to cut back on calories, but there are other ways that would not only help lose a few pounds but would be friendly to the en- vironment and make a difference on West U streets. If you haven't already figured out where I am going with this, I am talking about walking and bicycling to school, JMH, the playing fields and library or wherever your destination in West U. Sure, the effort would take a few extra minutes, but it would make you feel good and would contribute to- ward lessening the traffic problems that so many of you are concerned about. Additionally, you would be doing a small part toward improving the air quality in Houston. As the city continues to plan for qual- ity of life improvements, we are giving consideration to those things that en- hance pedestrian and bicycle mobility. Certainly, soon to be improved and ex- panded sidewalks designed to connect destinations, new streets, proposed pe- destrian level street lighting and improve- ments to the Town Center commit to that goal. The city is attempting to pro- vide the means; the rest is up to you. I dream of seeing more children walk- ing or riding bicycles to school, just as my girls and their friends did when they were going to West U Elementary. Not only would this provide a fitness oppor- tunity, but studies have shown that chil- dren who walk to school actually have higher performance levels because of the stimulation from the exercise. I am riding my bicycle to City Hall and to run close by errands hoping it does the same for me! When I travel in other countries and even in some U.S. cities, I am struck by the number of people on foot or on wheels. I realize, of course, that Hous- ton has grown up around the automobile and to change the associated mentality would be an awesome challenge. Too, the fact that Houston is lacking an ef- fective mass transportation system does nothing to discourage the use of cars. In a small town like ours, however, we have the opportunity to modify our think- ing and our habits. Won't you join me in the effort? I will be looking for you on the streets, and if you have ideas about how the city can better promote and enhance pedestrian travel, let me know.

I ask my- self, "How could these things happen?" Was there a smoke alarm? Was there a fire escape plan? Could it have been pre- vented? Most of the time, the answer is yes. It seems most people I visit don't feel that such things could happen to them. However, the reality is that a di- sastrous fire could happen to any of us, if we are not prepared. In 2002, there is no reason not to have at least one smoke detector in your home. They cost as little as seven dol- lars. If you're not sure how many smoke detectors to buy or where to put them, call the West U Fire Department and we will help you. Smoke is a silent killer and it takes hundreds of lives a year. Causes of these tragic fires seem to be the same each year - space heat- ers too close to combustibles, children playing with matches, overloaded elec- trical outlets, unattended cooking, or candles left burning. These are all things that we can control. Please take the time to walk through your house this month and ask yourself - Is this home a fire safe house? Do I have a working smoke detector? How old is the battery in the smoke detec- tor? Do my children know the dangers of fire? Do I have a fire escape plan? Are there two ways out of each room? Is there a meeting place outside to gather if a fire breaks out in my house? Information is available at the West U Fire Department to help you develop a fire escape plan.
