Update on Community Feedback Survey
Sheldon Road MUD has received numerous responses from the community on the Community Feedback Survey. The overall results can be summarized as follows:
- Street Lights – Both Sheldon Woods and Rolling Hills Subdivisions are in favor of having street lights installed within the Subdivisions (89% For, 11% Against). The District has approached Harris County Precinct 1 and an agreement is currently being executed whereby the County will fund 100% of the required street light installation costs in exchange for the District paying the monthly electrical usage utility bills. This will include new street lights on metal poles within each subdivision as well as additional overhead lights attached to the existing wood power poles on Hall Shepperd Road and Lamkin Road surrounding Sheldon ISD Elementary School.
- Sidewalks – Sheldon Woods is in favor of sidewalks (84% For, 16% Against) while Rolling Hills is against sidewalks (17% For, 73% Against). The District has been in discussions with Harris County Precinct One about potential pedestrian improvements in the Sheldon Woods area, particularly around Sheldon Woods Elementary School.
- Speed Bumps – Both Sheldon Woods and Rolling Hills Subdivisions are in favor of having speed bumps installed within the Subdivisions (84% For, 16% Against). The District discussed this request with Harris County Precinct One but their response was that they will not allow speed bumps to be installed on any County maintained roadway.
In addition to these items, Harris County Precinct One informed the District that they are doing an overall pavement condition evaluation along Sheldon Road from New Highway 90 to Garrett Road and within the Rolling Hills Subdivision. The County is also doing a regional San Jacinto River Basin Drainage Study which includes the Sheldon area. The District will continue to keep the community updated on the status of the street light installations.
