City officials urge caution as Memorial Park remains unsafe
Residents are being urged to avoid Memorial Park due to ongoing safety concerns related to debris removal. Local officials have emphasized the hazards present in the park, particularly in District C, and are working diligently to clear the area.

In a more positive update, city and county officials reported progress on flood control projects that have been implemented to protect neighborhoods from potential storm damage. Notable projects, such as Bray's Hold and a SWAT drainage initiative on Beech Nut, have already shown effectiveness, even though some are still under construction. Officials highlighted the importance of continued investment in infrastructure to safeguard communities, especially as hurricane season progresses and storms are expected to intensify.

Councilwoman Huffman addressed traffic safety, particularly at intersections where traffic lights are currently non-operational. She called for increased enforcement from the Houston Police Department and TxDOT to ensure safer conditions. Huffman reminded residents to exercise caution and stop at blinking lights, as many have been observed ignoring these signals, which could lead to accidents. She emphasized the role of community vigilance in maintaining safety on the roads.
