As I walked from a meeting back to the office the other day I was reminded of a situation that should/could be avoided that can accelerate the migration of the sand. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of us take for granted that when sidewalks are being rebuilt, or the adjacent street is missing and part of the sidewalk is blocked, we see the sidewalk closure ahead and go to the other side or around the block. We grumble about the detour but it is not a big deal. For someone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Downtown Houston since 1998 has rebuilt, revitalized, rehabilitated and reshaped over half its streets at no small cost in dollars and some inconvenience to the businesses and residents. There was occasionally great outcries and regularly grumbling and whining. There was also those who urged us to keep going and get it done quickly. This article [...]]]></description>

The City&#8217;s policy was to save the bricks for use in future projects. Two projects have been identified and so there was a need to sort the stored [...]]]></description>

What creates the need for these solutions is the difference in the existing grades of the adjacent buildings and the street&#8211;even if the street is being completely rebuilt. &#8212;-   0  &#8212;&#8211; At Bell [...]]]></description>
