Pursue more reasonable alternatives for storm water detention

Greetings,

I just signed the following petition addressed to: HCFCD and City of Houston Public Works and Engineering.

----------------
Pursue more reasonable alternatives for storm water detention

The undersigned are opposed to the destruction of Ashford Forest, Heathlake Forest and Lakeside Forest and request HCFCD and PWE pursue more reasonable alternatives for storm water detention including the proposed Clodine Ditch Basin and Deerwood Basins. The current drought has caused enough destruction to our limited natural areas.
