"This is Houston, not Amsterdam." Those were the words of a commenter in a thread on Next Door about the concrete abutments on 11th Street near Yale that were causing a bit of a stir among residents who choose to argue online. Admittedly, a cursory check of that particular intersection is rather perplexing, but it was simply a platform to stir up debate about the very principle of bike lanes in the Heights, which are exploding unabated.<\/p>\n

It was one thing, it seems, to convert old rail lines to hike and bike trails. It’s quite another to introduce lanes just for cyclists along 11th Street and Shepherd and Durham.<\/p>\n

Fewer seem to care about …<\/p>\n
