Just wanted to see if there was an update on the ditches along Huffsmith near Burroughs park that cause flooding from being backed up because of the power poles that were put in.

It looks like a new entrance is being added to Burroughs park but the ditches haven’t been touched
"FUN IN THE SUN" at Champion Forest Baptist Church in Jersey Village.
After we picked up our "drive-thru lunch," which was catered by Catfish on Wheels, we had a picnic. The fried fish, shrimp, French fries, hush puppies, coleslaw, pork and beans, and dessert were delicious 😋. Thank you Precinct 4 Encore!
Good Evening, Are there any plans to lay down an asphalt trail that would connect the East end of Bell Chase Drive and the Spring Creek Greenways Trail? It would only take about 180 yards (length) to connect the two. Sure would make it easier to access this part of the trail. Thanks!
On the news you said to let y’all know about bad ditches well on Huffsmith heading towards Burroughs park just past side Creekside Forest (traffic light) the ditch flow is blocked because of a telephone pole that was pit in awhile back
Why are we paying for this truck's payments and insurance for someone to use on vacation!

Hello,

This is Vinanti Mistry. This email is regarding few questions about wildflowers and native plants conservation in the area. As the bees and butterflies are increasingly in danger of losing habitat because of the development. We have beautiful parks , trails and even roadside where wildflowers are growing voluntarily. I was wondering what are the more options for conserving the habitat for our pollinators ? It's very important to save the habitat since they are directly related to growing our food. In my opinion now is the time for everyone to step up ... Regardless of whether you live in countryside or not. Wether you are farmer or not.

Conservation programs are being held through communities nationwide. Here are some information.

https://whnt.com/news/groups-gather-in-madison-to-plant-habitats-for-monarch-butterflies/

https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/plantsanimals/pollinate/?cid=stelprdb1263263

https://www.planetbee.org/

Here are some of the topics I would like to discuss through this email :

1) Is it aloud to spread wildflowers seeds in Harris County parks,trails and roadside ?

2) Does Harris County has a program for bee conservation ?

3) Does Harris County has a program for local Scouts organization to do a service project connected to Bee and Butterfly Conservation ?

4) Does Harris County support financially to community if they have a plan for Bee and Butterfly Conservation ?

Looking forward to work towards a better healthier future for all.

Thank you

Vinanti Mistry
Total ignorant of the law and unprofessional actions should rate a retraining episode as well as mandatory education on the Constitution. She is unlettered....rude....childish.....and the type of LEO that will get people killed.
