NO Parking NO Standing Zone on Howard Dr.
Attention Oak Meadows Residents
As the new school year approaches, with classes beginning on August 10, 2026, the Oak Meadows Civic Club has reached out to local law enforcement agencies to discuss increased enforcement of the No Parking / No Standing zone on Howard Drive during student drop-off and pick-up times at Chavez High School.
Residents of Oak Meadows, along with our neighboring communities, has experienced numerous incidents in which emergency vehicles were unable to exit our neighborhoods because parents were illegally parked along Howard Drive while waiting to pick up students. This creates a serious public safety hazard that must be addressed.
In January 2026, I worked closely with the City of Houston to have No Parking No Standing at Any Time signs installed along Howard Drive. These signs were installed to provide law enforcement with the authority to issue citations and, when necessary, tow vehicles parked in violation.
While the additional signage initially improved compliance, the illegal parking gradually resumed and once again become a daily occurrence.
As the new school year begins, we have requested the following:
- Increased enforcement by the Houston Police Department and the Harris County Constable’s Office during morning student drop-off and afternoon dismissal.
- Assistance from Chavez High School in reminding parents and students that parking and standing on Howard Drive is prohibited.
- Encouragement for parents to use the designated student drop-off and pick-up areas located in the school parking lot on the Old Galveston Road side of the campus.
Our goal is not to inconvenience parents. Rather, it is to ensure that emergency vehicles—including police, fire, and EMS—can access and leave our neighborhoods without delay and that traffic remains safe and orderly for residents, students, and motorists alike.

Upcoming Activities
Hello Oak Meadows Residents!
As we begin our summer vacation season and our children are home from school, the Oak Meadows Civic Club would like to share a few ideas for discussion with your families and neighbors.
October could be an exciting month with two community activities at Oak Meadow Park!
National Night Out – Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Last year, we partnered with Rucker Elementary School and held National Night Out on the school grounds under the covered area nearest the park. The event took place from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
This year, we would love to bring National Night Out back into Oak Meadow Park and include vendors and activities that make your visit even more enjoyable.
Halloween at Oak Meadow Park
Last year, your Civic Club introduced the idea of celebrating Halloween in Oak Meadows Park. Since Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, we believe it creates an even better opportunity for a fun-filled community event!
Imagine decorating tables, creating spooky displays or haunted houses, and having our teenagers participate to make the event exciting for our younger children. We currently have approximately 14 tables around the park area, and the Civic Club would like to offer a prize or two for the best-decorated displays.
To make these events successful, we need your participation. Most importantly, we want to create a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience for the children and families of Oak Meadows.
That is why we are beginning this discussion now, in July. We want to give everyone plenty of time to share ideas, discuss plans with family members and neighbors, and decide how we can make these events special.
We have a beautiful park in Oak Meadows, and we should use it to bring our community together, create lasting memories, and provide safe and fun activities for our children.
Please share your comments, ideas, and suggestions. We look forward to hearing from you!
Respectively,
Rita – Secretary
Oak Meadows Civic Club
