Potranco Rd. Expansion: Due to expansion of 1604 from Culebra to Potranco, the intersection must be re-designed so project is delayed until Nov., 2014.

Lot at 12153 Poinciana:  County is referring the case to Justice of Peace Court for a hearing regarding the dumping of rocks, etc on the lot.  Hopefully they will have a court date in the next 30 days.

Water Rate Hike:  As of Feb 25, 2014, TCEQ has a total of 695 protests which is more than double what is needed.  It will probably be this summer before there is a hearing before the State Office of Administrative Hearings.

Multi-stop Intersection Request: Mr. Franz with the county did a traffic study and there is not sufficient traffic (800 cars in an 8 hr period) to warrant a multi-stop intersection.  They have installed 2 new signs on Silver Maple alerting drivers to “School Bus Stop Ahead”.  There are 350 cars one way (700 roundtrip) coming from Amhurst through our subdivision.  He is checking into posting “No Thru Traffic” signs.

Speed Bumps:  Application denied due to lack of curbed street (Silver Maple) but Mr. Franz is willing to work with us to see if anything else can be done.  He suggested school children signs at the corners where children are picked up and asking the Sheriff’s dept to patrol for speeders.  He will also check into more speed limit signs as Coolcrest is now a cut through for cars from Amhurst. Suggestion made to ask for stop signs at Bois D’Arc and Eucalyptus.  Linda will pursue with the county.

Stop Sign @ Grapevine & Yellow Birch:  Sharon said that it is still a problem.  Linda will mention this to Mr. Franz.
