I live in Garden Oaks (which is located off of the 610 North Loop between Shepherd and Yale near the Heights). Our neighborhood was built in the early 1940's, and the city put in open drainage (which is basically ditches in the front of all the properties). Over the past 60 years the drains have filled in and leveled which is preventing the water from flowing correctly to the sewers, and this in turn causes minor flooding and BIG headaches. My address is 236 W. 30th Street and the area of 30th Street I am asking the city to regrade is between Ashland and Yale (approximately 2,500 feet). I have been calling the City of Houston Public Works Department 713-247-1000 for about the last 4 years (generally once a month) to ask them to please come out and regrade our ditches. (The Public Works Department only has records over the last year because they changed their computer system and lost many files including mine.) For the last year or so I have been receiving a more positive response when I call which is: "This is a Code 1 priority and will schedule as work load allows." Although this response is encouraging, I still feel that my request is falling on deaf ears. Kevin suggested that perhaps a call or letter to a city council person might help expedite this work request. I would be extremely grateful if there is anything you could do to help me and my neighbors.
