Rusty T. has an idea, yet to be revealed, regarding the beautification of League City's HWY518 entry off I-45. Regular poster, matt, was kind enough to go out and take these and a few more pictures, http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f358/joinnowfree/ , for our comparison and "edification".What are your thoughts on League City's entryways?

I hope we all get behind the Boundless Playground in League Park. “Side by Side Hopes and Dreams” What better use for Park Dedication Funds that are collected from a lot charge to developers in new neighborhoods. (NOT TAX FUNDS) Let your City Council know how you feel about getting this project completed.neil.baron@leaguecity.com mike.barber@leaguecity.com mick.phalen@leaguecity.com mike.lee@

How do we foster a culture sucess, when we just create a culture of fear? What is the answer?

How many of you have had close encounters with kids running around in the neighborhood and worry that it's accident waiting to happen? I would not worry so much about that if the kids just followed traffic rules in the subdivision. I don't know how many times I saw kids drive right through stop signs. All golf carts are supposed to obey all traffic rules. That way no one gets run over. Quite a

I want to preface this thread with the fact that I am not a tree hugger. However, I appreciate the beauty of trees and plants. After watching the installers of the red light cameras at multiple intersections, I was appalled at the manner in which the trees and vegetation were handled by the installers of the cameras. I watched a backhoe operator repeatedly pushing the vehicle into a 15 foot oak

Could that actually be a real headline someday?I wonder what we could get if sold certain assets that are not performing well for the city. Take The Butler Longhorn Museum for instance. I mean if we put it on the market, lock stock and barrel along with specific promises of zoning exemptions if some wanted to open a restaurant, boutique mini-hotel or other commercial interest there.Of course if

This case has been temporarily pulled from the City Council agenda. At this time the applicant is conducting further research to make sure they have chosen the safest location and route for the well and pipeline. I will not know any further meeting dates until the applicant gets back with me and just wanted each of you to be informed and I will keep you informed of any future actions."I can't cut

The Planning and Zoning Commission's mission is to submit recommendations to the city council. As a commissioner I take my position and job very seriously. When we as a commission send a recommendation to city council, usually, you can bet your bottom dollar that we have deliberated and discussed the matter thoroughly. Recently, an application was made to install a natural gas pipeline from a

So there are a lot of issues that surround League City from a municipal government point of view. There are economic issues micro and macro. There are infrastructure deficiencies. Crime often is considered as an after thought but there are certain real law and order challenges in League City? Of course there's the water, drainage mobility and such like that.So where should we be spending money

A community is a place where your children can grow and become educated and then become a part of the community.

New rumors are surfacing that residents of Glen Cove subdivision may want the city to build a pedestrian drawbridge over the navigable water way that leads to Cypress Bay subdivision. This allegedly desired bridge would replace the old condemned car traffic bridge that was removed several years ago to facilitate navigable boat traffic to and from Cypress Bay subdivision. Allegedly, the residents

During the Planning and Zoning meeting of July 20th, 2009, an SUP was requested to allow a Natural Gas Pipeline to take the possible natural gas product from a new well to be drilled in League City. This proposed pipeline will take a pathway directly behind residential properties in the Meadows sub-division. According to the consultants who came before P & Z, under the current plan, no

We have been discussing strained infrastructure in League City for some time. However, the recent news that the water storage and pumping station on highway 3 has not worked since spending 1 million dollars to refurbish it in 2005 is astounding. What we are witnessing here is the mis-management of City assets as well as a lack of accountability in the public works department. This is simply a

Through all the last 4 months of turmoil, no one watching the ditches, flooding, dogs and cats roaming in their own parks,.

The City, in post 4-18 efforts to get its arms around the drainage issues in League City has proposed the creation of a "Storm Water Utility District". At first glance this sounds like a good idea to handle long range planing and funding for drainage issues. However, is this an admission by the city that it has failed to adequately fund and manage the existing drainage system from the general
