Houston Avenue Parkette

It has taken 18 months to be fixed, But finally, the entrance sign to our neighborhood on the corner of White Oak and Houston Avenue has been repaired!

If you recall, the sign was damaged back on August 10, 2024 following an accident that propelled a vehicle into half the sign. Since then we've been waiting and asking for updates as the Memorial Heights Redevelopment Authority TIRZ 5 worked through the paperwork to hire a contractor to make the repairs. Our last update from TIRZ5 stated they were in the process of finding a contractor we had not heard an update that one had been selected and approved.

Then a few weeks ago board member Julie Moore noticed work was going on to repair the sign. Over the weekend workers finished repairing the damage and replacing the tiles on the sign. Now after so long the construction is completed and the entrance sign is now standing.

Purpose

It identifies practical projects that make it safer and easier to walk, bike, take transit, and drive.
