 The New Department of Transportation  Program

 The City of Shoreacres has created a new police position to enforce safety compliance by the heavy truck traffic on State Highway 146.  The vehicle to be used is a Ford Expedition, an addition to the city’s police fleet.

Green-Up Clean-Up

 It’s that time again to trim and grind.  The city will be hosting Green-Up Clean-Up on Saturday, April 2 and April 30, from 8 am to 3 pm.  This is your opportunity to discard cut vegetation 6 inches or less in diameter by hauling it to the city’s grinding site just west of HWY 146 during the designated hours.  Free mulch is available if you mention you read about it in this dynamic publication.

 Annual Easter Egg Hunt

 If you’re just dyeing to hunt eggs, come on down to Circle Park March 19 at 10 am.  Admission is free if you bring a kid, or if you can prove you never grew up.  It’s fun for the whole family!  For information call City Hall at 281-471-2244.

 Noise Begets Noise

 Got noise?  There’s a list of mighty important people you can contact about the Bayport noise that may be slowly causing recent changes in your personality. (You can contact the mayor at mayor@cityofshoreacres.us for a list of names and phone numbers.)  Don’t call these guys if noise is coming from your neighbor, but if it is coming from the Bayport project, the Port of Houston Authority and the construction contractors they employ are not going to do anything about the noise they are creating unless there’s a complaint.  The compliance laws regarding noise are hard to enforce unless they are well monitored documented and acted upon.  They have their ducks in a row and lawyers by the phone to assure us they are, or will be, in compliance. But remember…they will probably have to be forced to be compliant from here on.
