Northpark Drive Overpass Project
Notice of Lane Closure


HOUSTON – Council Member Flickinger would like to make Kingwood residents aware that Beginning February 19th, Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority’s (LHRA’s) contractor, Harper Brothers Construction will be closing the right two lanes of westbound traffic near the Northpark/I-69 intersection. For this phase of work, the contractor will be installing new storm sewer pipes and inlets along with a new concrete roadway.

The first month of this closure will leave two westbound lanes open – the existing left turn lane and one through lane. The next 3 months of the closure will switch traffic onto the newly constructed lanes while construction of the existing left turn lane and through lane are completed. Westbound traffic should expect delays and alternative routes are encouraged.

As a result of the construction activities, please be aware of flagmen and orange traffic cones that will be put in place on-site to help with traffic flow through the construction zone. Businesses and residents will have access to driveways and sidewalks at all times and may experience an increase in noise levels due to trucks and equipment in the area.

For more information, you can visit LHRA’s website at www.lakehoustonra.com. You can also contact Council Member Flickinger’s office at (832) 393-3008 or districte@houstontx.gov.

Dear District E Residents,
I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as the new Houston City Council Member for District E and represent every community across the district. As I begin my term, I would like to share a few areas of focus that I believe are of utmost importance to our community’s well-being and growth.
First and foremost, public safety is a top priority for me. It is crucial that we all feel secure and protected in our homes and neighborhoods. I am committed to working closely with our Houston Police Department Divisions to ensure they have the resources and support they need to keep our community safe. I plan to utilize my Council District Service Funds to supplement the District E HPD Divisions’ efforts to keep us safe. Together, we can foster strong relationships with law enforcement and implement proactive strategies to prevent crime and create a sense of security.
Additionally, as many of you are aware, our community has experienced its fair share of challenges when it comes to flooding. Addressing flood mitigation is a critical task that requires immediate attention. I will continue the strong work put forth by Council Member Dave Martin and work diligently with Houston Public Works, Harris County Flood Control District, and Harris County among other experts to implement comprehensive measures that effectively manage and mitigate flooding risks. We must invest in infrastructure and projects that will safeguard our homes and businesses from future flood events. This includes the Lake Houston Spillway Dam Improvement Project, dredging Lake Houston, and continued funding for local drainage projects.
Lastly, infrastructure improvements are vital for the growth and prosperity of any community. Our roads, bridges, water systems, and utilities play a crucial role in enhancing our quality of life. I am committed to collaborating with my fellow council members and seeking innovative solutions to improve our community’s infrastructure. By focusing on targeted investments and strategic planning, we can ensure our transportation systems are efficient, our utilities are reliable, and our community remains accessible to all.
I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our community’s continued success, and I am committed to representing your interests and concerns. As your council member, I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or suggestions you may have. Together, we can make a significant and lasting impact on the issues that matter most to us.
Thank you for placing your trust in me, and I am excited to work with each and every one of you to create a safer, more resilient, and better-connected community.
Sincerely,

The District E Office

Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce General Membership Luncheon: Orion Program Status


The District E office is excited to share a recap of the recent Annual Membership Luncheon hosted by the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. The District E office had the pleasure of attending this event, which took place at the picturesque Lakewood Yacht Club. The highlight of the luncheon was an engaging talk delivered by none other than Debbie Korth, the Orion Deputy Program Manager for NASA’s Johnson Space Center, who provided a comprehensive update on the Orion Program Status.
During her presentation, Mrs. Korth enlightened the audience with insightful information about NASA’s spacecraft designed for deep space exploration. The crowd was captivated as she delved into the fascinating details of Artemis II, a pivotal mission in the ongoing efforts to explore distant realms. Through her meticulous timeline presentation, Mrs. Korth shed light on the upcoming missions in store for the years to come, painting a vivid picture of the future of space exploration.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Korth for gracing us with her presence and sharing her extensive knowledge and expertise. Her passion for the Orion Program was evident as she effortlessly conveyed the intricacies of NASA’s ambitious endeavors. We are incredibly fortunate to have such remarkable individuals dedicated to pushing the boundaries of human exploration right here in our community.
We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce for their exceptional coordination of this luncheon. Their commitment to fostering connections between the business community and government entities is commendable, and events like this provide invaluable opportunities for dialogues that shape the future development of our district.Lake Houston Dredging UpdateCouncil Member Flickinger wants to make Lake Houston area residents aware the City’s contractor for dredging, DRC, will begin dredging the area south of the West Fork-Mouth Bar this month. DRC is estimated to remove approximately 800,000 cubic yards of silt and sediment. The removal will take two years and DRC will utilize primarily hydraulic dredging.
The additional dredging in this area is funded by FEMA and is the result of Council Member Dave Martin and Chief Recovery Officer Stephen Costello’s tireless efforts in protesting the initial amount put forth by FEMA back in 2019. In August 2020, FEMA, through their technical consultant at the USACE, concurred with the City’s ninety-four-page technical report. Council Member Martin strongly disagreed with the USACE’s four-page tabletop study and continued to appeal and push forward to get the project he knew the Lake Houston Area deserved.
The District E Office has been consistent in the fight to get more for District E residents since Hurricane Harvey and will continue to push for meaningful projects that will reduce the risk of future flooding throughout District E. Council Member Flickinger looks forward to the completion of the planned projects and continued collaboration with local representatives.

Northpark Drive Overpass Project Update Construction on the drainage components of the Northpark Drive Overpass Project continues to move along. Utility conflicts preventing the final box culverts to be installed will soon be completed. Once the water and gas line conflicts are resolved the contractor will be able to finish the installation of the box culverts in the median. Over the last few weeks, the contractor, Harper Bros., has started to build the new outfall and clear and grub the drainage ditch behind Public Storage. In order to remove extra stormwater that builds up in the detention basins near the Hwy 59/69 Northpark Drive entry, the ditch will serve as an alternate route. The drainage ditch runs parallel to Northpark Drive behind the businesses on the north side of the street.
Harper Bros. will also continue the excavation of the detention basins. The Landscape architects have finished relocating the remaining trees on the right/south side of Northpark to create a backdrop for the new ponds. While some trees will remain in front of the pond.
Planning for Phase II of the project (east of the Kingwood Diversion Ditch) has begun. Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority/TIRZ 10 will hold two public meetings. The first public meeting is scheduled for March 7, 2024, at the Kingwood Community Center from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM to discuss Phase II and solicit input from other groups and residents.
As a reminder, the next TIRZ Board meeting will be held on Thursday, March 14th at 8:00 AM at the Kingwood Community Center. Every TIRZ Board meeting is open to the public. Visit the LHRA website for more information on the Northpark Drive Overpass Project and view the 2024 Board of Directors Calendar.

The heaviest rain is expected to occur on Monday. Residents can expect 2-3 inches of rain with some areas receiving up to 5 inches. Our biggest threat will be potential high rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour that could lead to street flooding and rises in our network of creeks and bayous.


Tuesday rainfall is expected in the 1–3-inch range with Wednesday totals of 1-2 inches.


Hazards like high winds, hail, and tornadoes are not expected.


The City of Houston has announced that they will lower water level in Lake Houston by one foot in preparation for this rain event.


Residents should be weather aware and have multiple ways of receiving updated forecasts and warnings from the National Weather Service through the entire Monday through Wednesday period.
Motorists should expect rain during both morning and afternoon drive times. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways. Remember: Turn Around Don’t Drown! Check the Houston TranStar live traffic map for information on road conditions.
