Goodness it looks like I took a month off in September !! (or the whole summer) Well now … How is everybody doing ?
The city seems to be getting better. I noticed the new web site and it looks great !
I notice CCISD has a committee or two open for the public. I notice that there are also some boards and commissions in our city that are up at the end of the year. So there seems to be a lot to get involved in.
Farmers Market… any thoughts on the subject? Is it going to be for local farmers to sell produce or will someone buy produce in Houston and drive it down to League City to sell?
What about our water tank situation. Now that the council has become aware of the problem what is the progress with that? I understand that the tests did not go as hoped and that the cost will be over half a million just to get it up and running.
Also one or two last thoughts… What about the regulation of golf carts? Mr. Edelman was at the council meeting asking for greater regulation do you think that the government needs to be involved in further regulation?
RED LIGHT cameras My goodness. Any thoughts on those lovely big brother is watching tools?

Mobility Problems
League City Seeking Solutions to its Mobility Problems
League City is one of the most rapidly growing communities in the Houston-Galveston region. Unfortunately, growing pains have resulted in congestion and mobility problems for League City. As a first step toward finding solutions, the City has undertaken the development of a Master Mobility Plan. Public input is extremely important to the development of the plan because it is the residents of League City who use the City’s transportation network every day. Therefore, residents invited to attend the first of three Open Houses to discuss the City’s mobility issues. Meeting details are as follows:
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Johnnie Arolfo Civic Center
400 West Walker St.
League City, TX 77573
The Master Mobility Plan will address ways to improve citywide mobility across a broad spectrum of transportation modes including the roadway network, local transit, park and ride, commuter rail, hike and bike trails, marine transportation, and the pedestrian network. It will be the City’s first truly multi-modal transportation plan.
Unquestionably the predominant form of transportation in League City is the automobile and will continue to be. Thus, significant attention must be paid to improving traffic flow. However, the Master Mobility Plan will pay equal attention to establishing a more balanced range of mobility options.
A needs assessment is currently being conducted for the various transportation modes. Two modeling tools looking at land use scenarios and future traffic congestion will also play a big role. This information, along with public input, will be used to develop the Plan’s multi-modal mobility recommendations. The Plan will also include funding and implementation recommendations meant to guide the City as it continues to grow.
A website will be online by early October where residents can find out about the mobility planning process, access materials to be presented at the Open Houses, fill out an online survey, and offer other comments. The website address will be www.LeagueCityMobility.com.
