The Transformation of South Lamar

[LoneStarMike]

Yeah, I know that intersection well. I cross it all the time to walk over to Target or to catch the 338 northbound. My complex is the only one on that side of Lamar. The Hamilton and Woodmoor are on the same side of Lamar as that shopping center, so those people have no need to cross Lamar. All those apartments up and down Victory don't either and Victory's only two lanes, and I never see much traffic on that street.

I forgot to mention that there's also a lot of apartments up and down Manchaca and the number 3 bus stops at Manchaca & Prather. Prather's only a two lane street as well, and it dead-ends into Victory right behind where they're putting in this Wheatsville. You can walk from Prather & Manchaca to Victory in less than 10 minutes.

Is that Lamar Oaks Shopping Center pedestrian-friendly as in beautiful and engaging? No. But it's accessible if you don't want to drive for a lot of people. Plus it does have plenty of parking for those who just can't tear themselves away from their cars.
