meeting with 5th Ward Super Neighborhood leader

Jim and I met today with Alvin Byrd of the 5th ward super neighborhood. He gave us advice on what to do next in stopping the creation of the box culvert along Japhet Creek. He suggested that we talk with councilman at large Gordon Quan because he had supported a lot of work in bayou restoration. Alvin also suggested that we contact Robin Blue of Keep Houston Beautiful for resources during the cleanup. He also suggested that we tap into some of the companies surrounding Japhet Neighborhood saying that they might supply cranes and heavy equipment for getting some of the larger pieces of trash out of the creek.
