Well, they cleared a bunch of trees today.  I just picked up hubs at the Park and Ride... and just look.  Soooo much sky!

Its called progress. Things don't stay the same forever enjoy it while you can. You can move out to BFE Wyoming if you have money and enjoy the rural setting for years if thats your point.  4951

@friday1: Hi @friday1
Nope, that's not my point.  I'm just showing the progress of what was done today in the 9-10 hours from dropping off my husband and picking him up.  It was really strange to drive in there and see so much light and so much sky.  I did a double-take.  Sorry, but I'm staying.  Emoticon  haha.  KW is home!   4951

@RogueHippEE: Honestly I think it would do good to cut manage trees in some esplanades around here because the trees cause blind spots and people like to do 60mph on Northpark and KW drive.

@friday1: There are some places in Kingwood and that I wish I had an axe.  Or a portable chainsaw.

Thought we were to fight global warming ( you know the hoax). Cutting down trees and making more concrete just makes it hotter 4951

@friday1: Progress.  That would be laughable if it weren't such a sad state of thinking.  We have plenty of places to shop and places that are run down to re-establish businesses.  It's not progress - it's convenience.  Convenience puts a mini mart on every other corner and it's why cheers go up every time another fast food establishment opens.  And yes, I know I'm barking up the wrong tree here (no pun intended) as I'm in the extreme far minority.  I don't expect any of this will change as we as a species have lost all respect for earth and sky.  Some (many?) claim the bible as their authority for using flora and fauna as we see fit, some it's just pure unadulterated greed, some may be truly filling a need.  I'm sure many are happy that there will no longer be an apartment complex there to bring nearby property values down, and some that just have it in them to look down on those living in apartments won't have to experience them living so close. I guess in the end we'll have yet another sparkling new shopping center that will employ people at minimum wage, collect more petroleum waste runoff from the myriad vehicles that will travel through and park there, as well as further contributing to the urban heat island effect.To conclude, according to your own quote regarding the state of things forever, and the current pace of mankind's  "progress", BFE Wyoming, and other BFEs for that matter, will eventually cease to exist.  Maybe the sun will have gone nova by then and it won't matter. 4951

@analogkid: Have you seen the income to cost of living ratio? I am sure Wyoming will remain predominantly rural for decades to come.Only reason they do thing like this is to accommodate the community at large. Believe me they did their research before the land was even bought. The world is bigger than Kingwood TX.

I didn't think the original poster sounded negative about the change, but was rather just stating the change and the current state of the progress. Thanks @terilyntx - I didn't know they had started!   4951

The developers have promised to keep as many of the big trees along KW Dr and LWH Pkwy as possible. We will see.... But those trees at the back and bordering the P&R were not in the promise and I am sure they will put the back of the new HEB and other things right up close to that line.And keep in mind a lot of trees were removed for that big Metro P&R parking lot. 4951

The developer and the Community Association are working together to try and relocate most of the trees that will be moved/lost as a result of the turn lanes going in on Kingwood Dr and W Lake Houston. 4951

@friday1:
 
If they'd clear the vines & brush it would be fine. The actual trees don't block much. 4951

I agree about the shrubbery. If we are just talking about helping reduce blind spots. They cleared that area across from the high school and it looks better even though the backdrop is apartments.
I wonder what will become of the old HEB now. 4951
