KHOU: Pierce Elevated parking to get makeover
This curious blurb appeared on KHOU-11's website yesterday:
Houston City Council approved a proposal to upgrade the lighting beneath the Pierce Elevated parking garage. They plan to spend almost half a million dollars to fix up the area.
The Pierce Elevated is a parking lot by day, but at night it turns into a campsite for dozens of homeless people.
Businesses in that area have been complaining about a lack of security for a while.
Is there that big a demand for nighttime parking in this area?
When we drove by the parking lot under the Pierce Elevated (or the Pierce Elevator, as Chief Hurtt once called it) tonight, it was pretty deserted aside from a few homeless people (and fewer of them than usual).
If anyone knows more about these plans, please enlighten us in the comments!
