Lakewood Civic

Hello neighbors,

I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know your tax dollars have been hard at work throughout Lakewood. Recently both Hackberry and Timber Lane have been totally reconstructed with concrete. These streets were funded by 2007 voter approved bonds. The next street to be re-constructed (~2014) is Holly from Hackberry to North Burnett Drive. A few other streets have been repaved with asphalt that had enough base integrity to allow for repaving. City Council continues to try and address all the street concerns throughout our community.

City administration and I continue to evaluate the properties on South Burnett that have not taken sufficient action to return their property to an acceptable condition. We have been very accommodating since Hurricane Ike, but it is time to see completed results or more serious options must be explored and implemented. I believe that a reasonable time has been allowed for full recovery and it is in the best interest of our neighborhood to see these properties either repaired or demolished.

You may have noticed Spur 330, Hwy 146 and I-10 streetlights have recently been replaced with LED fixtures.  These fixtures are brighter and spread the light more evenly, resulting in safer nighttime driving conditions. Baytown is the first city in Texas to install this type of lighting throughout its major roadways. The LED lighting is estimated to save the city $30,000 per year in energy costs.

Thank you for allowing me to serve as your councilman. Please contact me if you have any concerns at district3@baytown.org or 832-514-9928. Have a great and safe summer, God Bless.

Respectfully,

Brandon Capetillo
