    Howdy Neighbor! Your comments are noted. We noticed steep grade changes at the intersection of the existing parking lot east of Discount Tire. However, we will look into it during the design process. Thank you!

    Thank you for your inquiry. The original Turkey Gully studied showed the limited right-of-way along the tributary and where there were restrictions in the flow that would limit the capacity of the tributary to carry needed stormwater.  The plans will divert excess flow from the gully toward White Oak Bayou.  This will also for reduced flooding impacts in the neighborhood.
