Swamplot has an update on the Regent Square development, which is what used to be the Allen House apartments. One bit of the developers' plans caught my eye:
They had originally asked the city to make W. Dallas one lane in either direction, with a shared left-turn lane, but have delayed it for a bit while the city analyzes all the streets over the next few years. Also mentioned further down the road would be a stoplight at Allen Pkwy & Dunlavy
On another matter:
The timeline was presented: they'll start in September with preliminary clearing and site work and start construction in October. They'll finish the north block in Sept 2010 and the south block around Dec 2010. They think they'll have to update some of the storm sewers around W. Clay and Dunlavy.
Boy, I couldn't agree with you more on this - that unfettered drive to the beginning of Kirby is such a treat!
