The headline says it all. Whitmire's TIRZ board erased key safety improvements.
Another project radically changed to make it worse. At a cost of $223,000.

Why are we screenshoting a post from Whitmire's TIRZ board? Because they don't allow comments. Because they don't actually care what we want.
The nut doesn't fall far from the tree!

It use to be a transit agency. And Houstonians vote to fund transit. But Whitmire cancelled the BRT's, raided Metro to repave his commute on Washington Ave. for $6 million.
No engagement, no transparency.
All because he can.
The Transparency Ordinance cannot come fast enough.

Metro is for transit. Not repaving streets.
The main purpose of Metro is to provide high-quality transit, not repave the roads. The agency's board should stick to their mission.

Thrilled Houston Public Works has accelerated this repair but the detours here are terrible.
Harris County Precinct 2 @adriangarciahtx.bsky.social
is working on an amazing connector here but it's not complete.

In a huge win for the community, Whitmire's TIRZ board has quietly changed the lane widths for W. Alabama!
We made the point loud and clear that 12' lanes are for freeways, not our neighborhoods.
@NACTO says 10' should be the standard here.

Looking at Telephone Rd which carries 7,000 cars. 7 schools in the area. A failure to represent the community by @JMartinez4Hou and Harrisburg TIRZ.
Whitmire and Gafrick have abused their power to force 4 and 6 lane roads through our neighborhoods.

It was Houston writ large - diverse and demanding respect for our freedom.
Thrilled to hear from so many Houstonians fed up with the Mayor's attacks on our safety.
Not surprisingly, an LGBTQ Hispanic leader led the way.

In City Hall, I saw a much-needed win for democracy, and a hopeful sign Americans still believe in the founding ideals of this nation.

Add to the scandalous list of money the Mayor wastes. $489,000 for the Telephone Rd. redesign on the table for the Harrisburg TIRZ. All because Whitmire has the power to railroad another project.
Board votes, reluctantly, to approve. One no vote.

Today I went to the H-GAC board meeting to explain that Gafrick's "guiding mobility principles" is a meaningless, ridiculous phrase.
When the media quotes it without context, it's publishing propaganda. Knock it off.

What he's tried to ban:
Concrete medians
Protests near his house
Sidewalks
Bike lanes
Raised crosswalks
The homeless
BRT’s
Scantily clad ladies on Washington Ave.
And now scooters.
