  • Twenty Years of Urban Redevelopment December 31, 2014
    MIDTOWN REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HOUSTON, TEXAS TWENTY YEARS OF URBAN REDEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 31, 2014 To: The Residents and Stakeholders of Midtown As we recognize our twentieth year, this report details the growth of Midtown since its creation by describing some of our projects and our plan for the future. It also provides an easy-to-read summary of the finances of the Authority and the Tax Increment Redevelopment Zone No. 2 (“TIRZ #2” or the “Zone”) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 and the budget for fiscal year 2015. Midtown seeks to be an example of a sustainable urban community. Both residents and visitors benefit from Midtown’s urban, mixed-use environment, enhanced with pedestrian-oriented sidewalks, decorative street lighting and streets designed for easy traffic flow whether on foot, on bicycles or in vehicles. Midtown uses one-third of its tax increment revenue to induce and develop affordable housing. The Authority has developed an affordable housing strategy that focuses on land assembly and affordable housing development to encourage mixed use, transit-oriented affordable housing development. Our efforts reflect the collaboration and financial participation of the City of Houston, Harris County, the Houston Independent School District and the Houston Community College System along with the direction of State Senator Rodney Ellis and State Representative Garnet Coleman – Midtown’s partners in the leadership, funding and participation in the Zone. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

    2.0 Economics, Demographics, Freight, and the Multimodal Transportation System – Conditions and Trends 2.1 Introduction Texas is the second most populated state in the nation and contains the nation’s largest highway network, has the largest interstate network, and has the second highest volume of traffic. Texas ports handle 19.1 percent of the nation’s total domestic and foreign maritime cargo. Additionally, Texas has the largest freight rail network in the country carrying 8 percent of all freight moved by rail. There are 29 urban transit providers in Texas that account for 3 percent of the nation’s urban transit ridership.5 Finally, two of the nation’s top 10 busiest commercial airports (Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport [DFW] [4] and George Bush Intercontinental Airport [IAH] [8]) are located in Texas.6 Population and interrelated economic activity drive demand for transportation facilities and services. This chapter identifies Texas’ existing and projected demographic and economic conditions, the existing multi-modal transportation system and the potential effects of population and economic growth on that system. The future transportation needs of Texas are projected to be greater than in past years while future funding sources and levels are uncertain. Environmental concerns related to transportation are becoming more prevalent and the planning process must evolve to address these concerns. These topics will be discussed in depth in Chapter 8. What makes Texas transportation unique? Texas is a large state that has a lot of roadway mileage. It takes 13 hours at the posted speed limits to cross the state at its widest point.
