Red Line still building, but this time it is bike lanes in Northside

Dug Begley | www.houstonchronicle.com

A bicyclist pedals by as workers install a crosswalk on a bike lane near Cavalcade Street and the Interstate 45 frontage road on Nov. 17, 2020, in Houston. Metropolitan Transit Authority is extending the bike lane along Cavalcade Street from Irvington to Elysian as part of a $1.3 million project. This extends the existing bike lane which runs …

The belief that Northside Houston residents will bike to buses and trains if it is safer to do so is bringing more curb work to Cavalcade, paid for out the same pot of federal money that brought the neighborhood trains.

Metropolitan Transit Authority on Nov. 19 approved the use of nearly $1.3 million left over from building the Red Line light rail extension â€” which opened nearly seven years ago â€” to …

Bike Friendly Oak Cliffâ€™s tweed ride livens up Dallas history

oakcliff.advocatemag.com

Original 7-Eleven

This building is now the Dallas office of the LULAC National Education Service Centers, which provides academic sup- port to 130 low-income students in Dallas ISD. About 90 years ago, it was the site of the first 7-Eleven. Oak Cliff-raised Joe C. Thompson Jr., known as â€œJodie,â€ started as a stable boy for Consumer Ice Co. in the days before refrigeration, when ice boxes kept food cool. He later became director of Oak Cliffâ€™s Southland Ice Co. John Jefferson Green operated the Southland-owned ice dock on Edgefield at Twelfth. In 1927, he had the idea to sell milk, eggs and bread from the dock, and the concept of a modern convenience store was born.

Kiest Park

The 263-acre park was donated to the City of Dallas in 1931 by Edwin J. Kiest, who was publisher of the Dallas Times Herald, and …

People on the DCTA Rail Trail now have a 10-second head start before turning traffic gets a green light at Mayhill & Edwards. At least one trail user was hit this year when a left-turning driver failed to yield at the crosswalk. This should help prevent that type of crash. pic.twitter.com/3yuOQzf0eA

I would also say: an example of cycle-unfriendly infrastructure. Isn't this the main reason why hardly anyone rides a bicycle in the #RioGrandeValley? Protected bike lanes and traffic-calming would help a lot and force motorists to slow down. pic.twitter.com/w9hnssNxz9

Millions of people have their first experiences on a bicycle as a child, and experienced the freedom it brings and the fun it allows. And yet so many folks are filled with bile toward adults who ride bikesâ€”whether for utility, fun or fitness. They hate something they once loved.
