Neighborhood request

Gulfton: 69 service requests past the City's deadline

To
Council Member Edward Pollard, District J
From
Neighbors of Gulfton

Dear Council Member Edward Pollard,

We are residents of Gulfton in District J. As of Sep 27, 2026, 69 City service requests in our neighborhood are open past the City's own deadline, and 27 have waited more than a year. From Aug 2024 to Aug 2025, the City missed its deadline on 28% of requests here (about 32% would be typical for this mix of problems).

Neighbors voted on what matters most:

  1. 01

    Westpark Dr · Signals, signs & street lights

    Near the 5,500 block. 9 open, 9 past deadline, oldest waiting 2.4 years.

  2. 02

    Chimney Rock Rd · Signals, signs & street lights

    Near the 6,000 block. 6 open, 5 past deadline, oldest waiting 2.5 years.

  3. 03

    Renwick Dr · Signals, signs & street lights

    Near the 6,000 block. 4 open, 4 past deadline, oldest waiting 1.6 years.

  4. 04

    Alder Dr · Water leaks & sewer

    Near the 6,700 block. 3 open, 3 past deadline, oldest waiting 3.0 years.

  5. 05

    Westward St · Signals, signs & street lights

    Near the 6,400 block. 3 open, 3 past deadline, oldest waiting 2.2 years.

We ask your office to request a status and timeline from the responsible departments for these items, starting with those past deadline, and to share the response with our Super Neighborhood.
