Visit the TIRZ 13 Mobility Study website to explore the ways you can provide input to the study.

TEI will be conducting sidewalk and roadway assessments over the next several weeks. You will see two or three TEI team members in yellow vests with clip boards walking throughout the neighborhood. They will be looking at sidewalk condition, ramp conditions, walking experience, general corridor assessments, intersections, and taking photos. All of this data will be an input into the recently kicked off TIRZ 13 Mobility Study. Please feel free to say high and point out things about the neighborhood you would like for the team to know.

The neighborhood turned out to enjoy the official opening of the Dow Elementary Park at the Ribbon Cutting  on January 11, 2020.  Although there are a few minor items remaining to finish everyone had a great time at the park.  We were joined by many members of the neighborhood, Council Member Cisneros and Michael Isermann, Deputy Director, Facilities Management and Development from the City of Houston Parks Department.  We have posted plenty of pictures for you to enjoy and share.  You can reach them at this link Dow Elementary Park Photos  Dow Elementary Park Photos  or go to our Photo page.
