Dear Mayor Malone::
We are currently preparing a project which will rehabilitate a portion of SH 146 and SH
225 in Harris County.

SH 146 and SH 225 within the corporate limits of the City of La Porte during
construction operation,s. Please establish the recommended zones by council action at
your next regular meetmg.
Attached is a copy of a sample ordinance containing the recommended zones. This draft
is so written that the ordinance is automatically canceled upon completion of the project.
If you concur, please return a copy of your ordmance for our files and further handling.
