Strategic Image Improvement Zones Needed. The corridors into each of Houston's airports (IAH and HOU) and main HOV entrances / exits, and freeway intersections need a face lift. Especially at Hobby Airport has every visitor passes through low income poverty ridden areas on a patchwork of constantly broken street access points and this is their first impression of Houston - not as a world class city. These corridors should be taken over and major long lasting improvements made to beautify the approach to those visiting and doing business in the Greater Houston Area. We have a huge unwanted homeless & panhandler presence all over Houston and the view down these corridors is not suitied for a good impression for professionals and visitors. The introduction to our city trough theses corridors is presently depressing and highlights brokenness, idleness and lack. Please build corridors where there are no people standing idle along the corridor and in the roadway without resources or purpose. Create a vibrant image of a city that works hard and accomplishes things. Theses corridors at this time give every visitor the images of lack, idleness, poverty, brokeness etc. before they enter or leave our city. Why does it have to be such a bad interduction to what Houston has to offer? I propose we introduce specialized access beautification/improvement corridors and at least make these corridors a priority for the best street repairs, not the worst. People see us through these lenses everyday they come in to town through the airports. It's like showing up for job interviews everyday in a ragged suit and trying to tell your self no one notices. Sure they do. Lets step up our gateways to the city. We need the improvements to compete on a global stage.
