After moving to Glenwolde Drive in 1996 and living in this neighborhood for a few years, I saw a few things that I wanted to see improved that would make things better for all of us.  One of the things that bothered me at the time was the number of dogs roaming up and down our street.  Thanks to a few calls to the animal control department, very few dogs now stroll along Glenwolde Drive. 

 

My biggest issue over the years has been how little service we get along our subdivision on Bissonnet Street.  I and others have complained several times about the tall grass and lack of cuttings.  The last thing I was told was that the City of Houston would be providing only one cutting a year.  And I am sure everyone could see that even after cutting there were still trees and grass obstructing parts of the sidewalk.  What a horrible image for our neighborhood!  However, for some unknown reason, the grass and trees were recently completely cleared away (February 2014) and the sidewalk can actually be seen and used without obstruction!   Some believe the sudden clearance was due to firemen being obstructed when a house burned on Glenwolde Street a few months ago.  In any case, I will be keeping an eye on the area and will be contacting the city if the area gets overgrown again.

 

Another thing I wanted to see on Glenwolde Drive was everyone taking pride in their homes and the area that we live in.  We do not have a home association but we should not need anyone to tell us to keep our homes and lawns in the best order that we can.  I am well aware of how costly some services and repairs can be, but we should try to get things done as soon as we can.  Just keeping our lawns neatly mowed makes a tremendous difference on how your home looks! 

 

Sharing more information among neighbors can also be very beneficial to all of us.  I hope that this website can serve as a focal point for sharing information about problems, crime or other valuable tips.  All of us need to know if someone is breaking into houses or vandalizing vehicles.
