Our plans were to enforce this <br />section of the ordinance on a complaint basis, and to gradually <br />correct violations that have existed in some parts of the city, <br />namely Lomax area and the old La Porte area, in a manner that <br />would cause the least problems for everyone concerned, the public <br />and the council. <br />After filing one complaint with our court, we find the <br />complaints are going to occur anyway - therefore I am asking for <br />directions fr9m you before we proceed. <br />Mr. Hodge and I have met to discuss the truck routes now <br />existing and the possibility of adding to these routes to keep up <br />with the increased truck traffic in the city. We talked at some <br />length about including Twenty-sixth St. as a truck route, since <br />Bay Area Illvd. will eventually be opened from Fairmont Parkway to <br />Spencer Highway where Bay Area will connect with Twenty-sixth all <br />the way to State Highway 225. Mr. Hodge talked with the Harris <br />County Engineer who stated he, the engineer, had no objections to <br />opening Twenty-sixth to trucks. The street does have proper <br />foundation to support truck traffic. <br />WE! also reconnnend adding Twenty-third St. to the truck route <br />because of the Public Works Service Center. <br />Your help in these matters and any direction on the other <br />matter will be greatly a ciated. <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />H.
