Is that accurate? That would mean that two sides of Republic Park wouldn't have a road (west because of the Federal Courthouse and south, if what you say is true), which would significantly impact the grid around there. I haven't seen anything on this, so I'm genuinely asking. I don't have time to dig too much, but the only thing I found was this article which shows a station a bit north - by the post office block, I think.
From what I remember, this is accurate. The link you posted even shows the station entrance in 4th street. It's possible that there may be room for a bus lane or whatnot, but I don't think so.
At any rate, 4th will be a pedestrian promenade from Republic Square all the way east to the current rail stop by the convention center. I imagine the more detailed info/diagrams can still be found in the transportation thread.

I have also not heard 4th will be converting to a full promenade especially not through the entirety of it's length through DT. Where are any articles/ news stories on this?

Bookended by Republic and Brush squares and topped by the Texas Capitol grounds to the north, Fourth Street preliminary design concepts teased Tuesday envisioned a promenade-like streetscape with outdoor cafe seating, pedestrian and bike-centric sidewalks and lanes, as well as room for buses on the roadway.
Okay. So not a full promenade, but..."pedestrian dominant", "promenade-like" streetscape. Split hairs over my wording if you must. Basically, vehicles would really only be able to access drop off zones or whatnot. It sounds like there may be some bus traffic. I didn't recall that part.

This is the best source of information on what was being considered as of last December. Due to the access needs of adjacent properties, it is likely 4th Street will resemble 2nd Street more than the 16th Street Mall in Denver. Of course, that may change as they get further in design.
Thanks for the info on 4th, I had heard they were going to redo the street but I envisioned something more in line with 2nd. Will be interesting how it ends up being.

Seconded. It'll be fun to see this area transform with this tower and the metro lines, for sure.
Nice. That's the opposite perspective from 360_Ray.
Benefits of having someone at Hobby and the 360 condos. Unfortunately for me, as I’ve said before, Hobby is emptying out so I’ll take one last photo on September 1 from that prospective. Probably one of the last prospective photos from that view until whatever takes its place gets built
