More Intersection
News (Shoreacres Blvd, @ HWY 146)
The Texas Department
of Transportation (TxDOT) will schedule a public meeting in
the not too distant future regarding design alternatives for
the Intersection of Shoracres Boulevard and Highway 146. An
informational meeting was held on January 24 at HYC prior to
the official city council meeting. TxDOT officials
presented two potential designs and also reported on the
status of the project. A good number of citizens attended
and asked some great questions. Thanks to everyone who
chose to participate.

How to Report
Odors
Smell
something bad? Don’t automatically think it’s your
neighbor. It could be an accidental release of a dangerous
vapor or gas from a nearby chemical plant. You can report
odors to Harris County Pollution Control 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, at 713-920-2831. They will send out an
investigator, generally
within two hours.
The sooner they receive the call, the more likely
they will be able to trace the odor to its source.
Loose Dogs
Last month it
was Coyotes, this month it’s dogs. Loose dogs that drive
people crazy. Seriously, have a little respect for others
and keep your dog in a fenced yard, inside your house or on
a leash. It’s the law.
Limbs Still
Needed for Heron Park
Small limbs
are still needed to line the trails at Heron Park. The
limbs should be no larger than 6 inches in diameter and 5
feet in length. Please no debris or tree trunks. If you
have any, please call Mary Beth Maher, 281-471-4745 or Tracy
Revak, 281-471-3425.
