Metro's evolving mission
What's Metro up to these days? Well, certainly not 50% more bus service, but there are other things keeping Metro officials busy, such as building neighborhoods, developing bottled water and bike repair amenities, and creating public spaces:
The Intermodal Terminal site borders this interconnected trail network. It could provide a connection from these trails to transit. It could link them to the residential areas of the North Side. And the development around the Terminal could provide amenities – bike repairs, bike lockers, bottled water, places to get some food – for the people using those trails. And the trails could provide a useful link to the Terminal – someone who lives in the Heights and works in the Medical Center, for example, could ride along White Oak to the Intermodal Terminal, park their bike, and take the train to work.
Sounds great! World-class even! Maybe Intermodal Terminal planners could include showers? We wouldn't want Houston to be crowned America's Sweatiest City.
