City Council Passes CIP
Included in the plan was an amendment that preserved $9.2 Million in ReBuild Houston funds for badly-needed street and drainage projects. The passage of this amendment, supported by Council Member Laster, protected these funds for use within the CIP, allowing for additional and expedited street and drainage projects.
 Council Member Laster also put forth an amendment that was passed by Council, which re-established funding for the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program from $0 to $250,000. This program provides funding for projects that address cut-thru traffic, speeding, and public safety concerns in our neighborhoods.
Some upcoming CIP projects in District J include:
- Reconstruction of Fondren Road (Westpark to 59)
- Water line replacement projects in Sharpstown
- Gulfton & Shenandoah major storm drainage projects
- Lansdale Park, Crain Park, Burnett Bayland Park, Sharpstown Park, & Braeburn Glen Park and Lee LeClear Tennis Center improvements
- Renovation of Fire Station #68
- Various sidewalk rehabilitation projects and traffic signal upgrades

Final Storm Debris Pick-Up
 The City of Houston Solid Waste Management Department will be undergoing a final collection of storm debris on July 27th for Southwest Houston (south of I-10 and west of SH 288).
Residents will need to have debris curbside by 7am on that day. Trash should be separated to the best of residents' abilities, into five piles away from fire hydrants, mailboxes, power lines and other objects that will hamper safe pickup.
The following should be separated into individual piles:
- Vegetative Debris - leaves (do not put in bags), logs, plants, tree branches.
- Construction & Demolition Debris - building materials, carpet, drywall, furniture, lumber, mattresses and plumbing.
- Appliances - air conditioners, dishwashers, freezers, refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters.
- Electronics - computers, radios, stereos, televisions, other devices with a cord.
- Household Hazardous Waste - cleaning supplies, batteries, lawn chemical, oils, oil-based paints, stains and pesticides.
Normal household trash and bagged debris of any kind will not be picked up as part of this program. You should continue to follow your normal garbage schedule.
For more information, please contact Irma Reyes at (832-393-0475).
