Gulfton is asking.
Say which problems you see, then put your name on the letter. When 10 verified neighbors sign, we print it and mail it to City Hall.

Say “I see this too” on the problems you know. They'll appear here.

One letter needs a few neighbors who spread the word. Champions get an invite link, a QR poster and ready-to-send texts, and see how many neighbors joined through them.
Champions never see who signed: only the numbers. Up to 3 per neighborhood.
Takes a minute. We check that you live in Gulfton, like a signature.
Open requests today, and how the City handled the same kind of request here and citywide (Aug 2024 – Aug 2025).
Signals, signs & street lights
Dark or broken signals turn busy crossings into near-misses, especially near schools.
Water leaks & sewer
Every day a main leaks, treated water is wasted and the street under it erodes.
Trees & storm limbs
Overgrown or damaged trees drop limbs on lines and roads when storms hit.
Potholes, streets & sidewalks
Broken pavement damages cars and leaves sidewalks unsafe for strollers and wheelchairs.
Illegal dumping & blight
Dump sites and dangerous buildings draw pests, fires and more dumping.
Drainage & flooding
Blocked ditches and drains mean standing water and flooded streets after every storm.
No. Voting needs nothing at all. Signing the letter takes your name and street address; email is optional. There's no password and nothing to install.
A council office pays attention to a letter from real constituents. We check your address is inside the neighborhood with the U.S. Census geocoder, keep only the street name, and discard the house number.
Your name appears only on the printed signature page mailed to City Hall. It's never shown on this website.
A person at CivicBoost reads the letter, prints it with the City's numbers, the problems neighbors ranked first and the signature page, and mails it to your district council member at City Hall. There's at most one letter per neighborhood each quarter.
The neighborhood page shows the date it was mailed. If there's no reply within 30 days, we follow up.
We can't promise that. What we can do is make the request specific, back it with the City's own data and named neighbors, and show publicly whether and when the office answered.
Report it to Houston 311 (call 311 or use 311.houstontx.gov) so it's on the City's record. Then use “Suggest a fix” on your neighborhood page so neighbors can back it; an idea joins the letter once 3 neighbors back it.
For emergencies, call 911.
Yes, anytime. On your neighborhood page, in the browser you signed with, choose “Remove my signature”. A letter that was already mailed can't be recalled, but your name won't be on future ones.
