Be A Part of Neighborhood Progress

by Marie Carlisle, SN14 President

Join your neighbors in Super Neighborhood 14 who are working hard to make sure that the Lazybrook/Timbergrove area gets the attention it needs from our elected officials, and help us build a better community. Check out our main initiatives below -if you want to see something happen, YOU can help make it happen.

Multi-Modal Transportation

The Lazybrook/Timbergrove area has not seen large-scale street or sidewalk infrastructure investment since it was built in the 50s and 60s and it shows. Thanks to SN14 leaders meeting with Harris County Commissioner Jack Cagle and showing him our areas’ needs, we now have line-of-sight on street repairs, sidewalks, ADA ramps and more. These plans are a collaboration between Commissioner Cagle and Councilmember Kamin and their staff. This doesn’t happen by accident; it takes active citizens voicing their concerns and keeping our elected officials informed of our needs

Vice-President George Frey and other SN14 leaders met with Harris County Commissioner Jack Cagle to discuss our areas’ needs for street and sidewalk infrastructure updates.

An initial meeting was held on May 11 to obtain input from the community about the current condition of our streets and drainage systems.

Infrastructure Updates

TIRZ-12 is completing a drainage study for the greater area and has gathered public feedback on the initial findings of street conditions. The last time a drainage study was done in our area was nearly 60 years ago–this initiative is our best chance at having input to try to alleviate our street flooding issues as the area continues to develop. An initial community meeting was held on May 11, 2022 to obtain input. Be on the lookout for notices of future meetings to learn more and make your voice heard on this important project.

Smart Development

SN-14 is engaging with city officials and working to ensure that development in our greater area has a positive impact and that we can still realize our long term vision for the area -a safe, well served and well connected community where we can walk, bike, and enjoy our greenspaces. Get involved today and you can help us work to make sure that the development in our area benefits the residents who live here, not just the developers who monetize our area.

Community Fall Events

  • Help us plan fun community building events that can also benefit our area such as: 1.Kids bike event including bike games, skills challenge, TxDOT safety awareness, etc.

  • Tree planting in esplanades to improve our green spaces.
