Commissioner Tom Ramsey  WEATHER EVENT RESPONSE We’re proud of our hardworking crews who braved the cold to keep our streets safe during January’s freeze event. Whether pretreating roads or working overnight during the worst of conditions, our crews went above and beyond the call of duty! Precinct 3 deployed five brine trucks, which applied 12,000+ gallons of brine to treat 200+ bridges at least three times! Thank you to our crews, staff, and all first responders for their tireless efforts in proactive preparation and emergency response! Your work in keeping the community safe matters, and we appreciate you.  ANNOUNCING A NEW PARK! Precinct 3 is now home to 70 parks The new Precinct 3 Harris County Park is nestled between the Cypress and Tomball areas, and located just south of the Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve at 20022 TX-249 in Houston. Showcasing a boardwalk along Cypress Creek, playground, picnic area, and a pedestrian trail that leads to the improved 100 Acre Wood Preserve, this park is free and open to the public with plentiful parking space. The park’s paved trail runs under TX-249, connects to the YMCA, and ultimately leads to the 100 Acre Wood Preserve, where Precinct 3 recently constructed a parking lot and shade canopy. Both projects are a part of Precinct 3’s Parks and Trails Master Plan. Come out and visit our new park!
