Neighborhood request

South Main: 86 service requests past the City's deadline

To
Council Member Martha Castex-Tatum, District K
From
Neighbors of South Main

Dear Council Member Martha Castex-Tatum,

We are residents of South Main in District K. As of Sep 27, 2026, 86 City service requests in our neighborhood are open past the City's own deadline, and 9 have waited more than a year. From Aug 2024 to Aug 2025, the City missed its deadline on 32% of requests here (about 32% would be typical for this mix of problems).

Neighbors voted on what matters most:

  1. 01

    S Loop Fwy · Signals, signs & street lights

    Near the 2,900 block. 27 open, 27 past deadline, oldest waiting 5 months.

    Near the 8,600 block. 18 open, 18 past deadline, oldest waiting 13 days.

    Near the 8,800 block. 4 open, 3 past deadline, oldest waiting 5 weeks.

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.
