Finally, a proposed pedestrian/bicycle system was introduced and discussion was opened to the citizens for feedback. Many citizens see a need for a dedi- cated place to walk and to ride bikes, especially for their children. The sys- tem connects the city parks and will make it easier for children to get to school safely and allow parents the abil- ity to walk with their children without the danger of watching for cars in the streets. Enforcing sidewalk repair or- dinances, which charges citizens with the responsibility of sidewalk upkeep, was also discussed as an issue related to pedestrian movement throughout the city. Comments from the meeting were taken from each topic and will be re- viewed. The next town hall meeting will be held in September and these top- ics will be discussed again. With the comments received from this meeting, some solutions to the traffic, parking and pedestrian problems will be proposed.

So, instead of trying to answer them all at once, we'll answer a few this month and more in future issues as space permits. Q. Why has City Council written so many new rules? A. In the last year or so, we have publicized existing ordinances and ad- dressed some that were difficult to un- derstand or enforce. I happen to like rules, as long as they are good rules, because I realize that they are neces- sary to prevent chaos. Even in idyllic West U, we create and enforce rules because there are people who aren't good neighbors, who don't have good manners, and who seem to forget we live in close, urban quarters. Sometimes West U's ordinances are written be- cause of a few inconsiderate or oblivi- ous people. The rules written to con- tain them must also apply to all of us. Q. What can you do to West U walk- ers who won't get out of our way? A. According to the law, a person who is wearing rollerblades is a person, not a vehicle. Rollerbladers do not have the right-of-way on city streets, cars do. Humans in any form should roll (or walk or push a stroller) on the left side of the street, facing oncoming traffic. That should be common sense and it is cer- tainly safer, yet there are people who think cars are in their way as they walk or roll wherever they please on West U streets. At the same time, bicycles are ve- hicles, and are required by law to obey the same rules that apply to cars. That means drive on the right side of the road and stop at stop signs. Bicycles should not be ridden on sidewalks, which are intended for pedestrians. (Of course, we West U walkers often take to the streets because our sidewalks are a challenge). Q. Why are you changing every- thing? A. While we wish it weren't so, change is a by-product of progress, and it is inevitable. With that in mind, this City Council has undertaken the lengthy process of crafting a Comprehensive Plan, with the hope of creating a tem- plate for decisions that will necessarily be made in the future. Rather than sim- ply allow change to happen to West U, the plan will ensure consistency in re- sponse to the unforeseen or unexpected. For example, West U's streetlights are often osbscured by the tree canopy. Since pedestrian-level lighting has been shown to be an effective deterrent to crime as well as being more aestheti- cally pleasing, we propose to replace existing streetlights with fixtures at a lower height. To be included in a bud- get, information must be compiled: How many streetlights are there at present? Will we need more of the new fixture? What should they look like? Do all streets have the same lighting require- ments? Will we retain any of the exist- ing tall lights? How much will it cost to update the utility service? Can we make some of the changes along with the in- frastructure improvements already un- derway? Is there anything else we should include? As you can see, even something as easy as streetlights require planning well in advance, and in conjunction with many other things. By facilitating consistent decisions in the future, the Comprehen- The following is a brief summary of the regularly called City Coun- cil Meetings held in July. City Council acted on the fol- lowing. Approved an ordinance relat- ing to barking dogs. Approved appointment of Gary Brye as Police Chief. Approved a budget for the 1999 Park Lovers Ball. The West U City Council meets regularly on the second and fourth Monday of each month. While City Hall is under renovation, meetings are held in the Community Build- ing, 6104Auden, at 7:30 PM. All meetings are open to the pub- lic, agendas are posted at City Hall 72 hours prior to the meetings, and citizens are encouraged to attend.

It is especially serious to the health of our children, people with respiratory prob- lems, seniors and those who work and exercise outdoors. Therefore, August is designated as Clean Air Month and you can make it successful by participating in activities that improve our region's air quality. Riding the bus instead of using your automobile is one simple way to reduce ozone levels and METRO, through the support of the Clean Air Coalition and its Clean Air Action Program, is offer- ing special half-price services during the month of August, including Local, Com- muter and METROLift. The discount will be in addition to any other dis- counted fare. METRO's Downtown Texas Specials can be boarded for free during the entire month. In addition, during the week of Au- gust 3-7, Park and Ride commuters will receive a free newspaper. This special Park & Read promotion helps to in- crease the public's awareness of their ability to clean up our air, get work done or relax, instead of fighting traffic and (Continued on page 4) 'l I 7 k t 6,. Here are more questions and comments that were received in response to the Citizen Survey mailed early in 1997. Comment: When we walk our dog in the evening the streets are full of cats roaming free. This should not be allowed any more than dogs that must be penned or leashed. Question: Why are cat owners not held responsible for cleaning up af- ter their pets and keeping them on their own property? How do we know they are healthy with rabies shots up- to-date? I walk my dog on a leash and always pick up after her. Should cat owners not do the same? We are animal lovers, but what's fair is fair! Response: The main purpose for the leash ordinance for dogs is to control the animal from harming anyone. Dogs are potentially dangerous and unpredictable, whereas cats are submissive and ususally predictable. Historically, cats have been considered free commoners and have been granted a lot of freedom to roam. However, there is a cat nuisance or- dinance. Section 5.064 of the Code of Ordinance states that it shall be unlaw- ful for a person to own or harbor a cat which, within the City: (i) destroys or damages the property of another person, (ii) deposits any noxious or offensive thing or substance within L-7, j or upon a build- ing, structure or motor vehicle of an- other person or (iii) makes frequent or long continued noise which is dis- turbing to persons of normal nervous sensibilities. As for the issue of rabies, under Sec- tion 5.081 of the same ordinance, all dogs and cats over four months of age, within the City, are required to be im- munized against rabies by means of an anti-rabies vaccine administered by a duly licensed veterinarian. Each vet- erinarian who vaccinates any dog or cat within the City issues a certificate of vaccination to the owner, which the owner is to give to the animal control officer when applying for a new or re- newal license. The veterinarian also furnishes the owner of the animal a du- rable tag on one side of which is stamped the words rabies vaccine administered or a similar phrase and the date of vac- cination. Such tag at all times is to be securely attached to a collar around the neck of the animal or harness around the neck and body of a dog. Subsequently, if residents adhere to the ordinances in place, there would not be a problem with rabies. Specific complaints should be called to the attention of our animal control officer at 662.5853. Gary Brye Chief of Police Page Eiv_-1,r,3L0YEE S1Fv`.~_"TL1GHT Nominated by one of his co-workers, Roscoe Rector is this month's employee in the spotlight. Roscoe Rector is the employee in the spotlight this month. Roscoe has been with the City for 12 years and says that he still enjoys his work. "I meet a lot of nice people, I like my co-workers, and my supervi- sor is one of the nicest, even-tempered guys I've ever met, he said." Roscoe is married with three children. During his time away from work, he enjoys relaxing with his wife, Sharon and getting beat at chess by his son, Quinton. When speaking of his two el- dest children, Bridget and Kesha, Roscoe is understandably proud. Bridget graduated from Stephen F. Austin with a degree in communica- tions and Kesha, majoring in medical technology, recently graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. Before coming to West U, Roscoe worked for Cameron Iron as a machinist in the missle plant and was released of his duties during a layoff in 1986. For- tunately, soon after being laid off, he applied for a job at the city and was hired. As many of his co-workers see it, it was Cameron Iron's loss, and our gain. This is evident in the words of his supervisor, Patrick Walters, who said, "Roscoe is a great asset to my department and the City. His profes- sional attitude, coupled with his excel- lent skills, benefit us daily. I am glad to have him as a part of my team." filly'5t01-1cally (~pot)king.. Hark! street goes there? The Colonial Terrace Addition to West University Place was created in 1926, when Annie Smith sold 116.9 acres of her property to developers M.C. Fantham, E.C. Fantham and Malcolm Cameron for $1400 per acre. Section C of the addition, comprising the 4100 blocks, was bounded on the north by Richmond Road (now Bissonnet) on the south by the Fairhaven Addition (which begins just south of Oberlin Street), on the east by Academy Street and on the west by Cameron Boulevard (now West Point). In naming the streets in these blocks, the owners created a Poet's Corner. From north to south, the streets were named Marlowe, Coleridge, Tennyson, Stevenson (now Rice), Milton, Poe (now Amherst), Holmes (now University), Moore (now Swarthmore), Bryant (now Case), Byron, and Burns (now Oberlin). Ten to fifteen years after the creation of the addition, many of these street names changed when their counterparts to the east were cut-through to join the streets in the addition. Over the next twelve years, the area remained little more than a plat on a piece of paper, but by 1937 some of the addition had been sold to H.R. Houck, a real estate developer and home builder, who began to sell lots and build homes in the addition. Typical construction was a one-story, five or six room frame bun- galow with an attic and a detached one- story frame garage. The cost of the homes ranged in the area of $2,500- $3,500. An Abstract of Title of the Colonial Terrace Addition, donated to the West University Place Historical Society, pro- vided much of this information. If anyone has any item of historical interest to donate, please call June Begeman at 666.5721. (Clean air - continued from page 3) further polluting our air.

And over the past few weeks, I don't think a day has gone by that the heat index was not over 100 degrees. So I'm sure most of you, if you're like me, are taking to the streets in the'. early morning or late afternoon to get your exercise. „That's when it is cooler and you don't risk a heat stroke or another type of heat related injury. However, early morning or late evening walking can also be hazard- ous. When you are out at these times, and you are not wearing reflective clothing or some type of reflective gear, it is often difficult for drivers to see you if you are walking or jogging in the street. This is why the City has initiated the Be Safe Be Seen program, which was put into action a few weeks ago. Of- ficers on patrol began issuing reflec- tive arm bands to residents out walk- ing, jogging, and cycling during the hours of darkness. The program has been so successful, we must now place another order. If you have received an armband, please where it whenever necessary. If you don't yet have one, be careful when you're out and next time you see an officer out on patrol, stop him or her and ask for one. r'aryM Brye City had activated the card and removed a large sum of money from a bank.

In 1913, the organization changed its name to the Houston Art League, and by 1917, land for a museum building had been ac- quired. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston opened on April 12, 1924, the first art museum in Texas, and the third in the South. From its inception, it was planned to house a comprehensive col- lection of art. Today, the permanent collection of the MFAH spans more than 6,000 years of history with more than 40,000 works from all seven continents, making the museum the largest in the Southwest and a major education resource for the re- gion. Public participation in MFAH ac- tivities is now at a record high, with mem- bership having exceeded 43,000 house- holds in the last fiscal year, ranking the museum seventh in the nation in num- ber of members. The museum has 1,095,000 visitors and a total of 1.5 mil- lion participants in its program annually. Museum education and community outreach are major components of the museum's commitment to the public. In 1997, the MFAH received an Institute of Museum and Library Services Na- tional Award for Museum Service. The award honors museums that demon- strate commitment to public service with innovative programs that address social, economic, or environmental issues.
