Adopt a Highway

The City Council has agreed to facilitate the request for a community volunteer effort to eliminate the accumulation of trash and litter along FM 1093 in front of Weston Lakes.  The City has no legal responsibility for litter control along the FM1093 right of way; however the trash and litter is unsightly and many of our citizens asked to establish a volunteer program under the auspices of TxDOT on a quarterly basis to pick up the unsightly trash along the FM 1093 right of way. 

Alderman Denis DeLuca has agreed to be the City point of contact and the organizer of the trash pickup days.  He has contacted TxDOT and the 2 mile stretch of FM 1093 fronting Weston Lakes has been approved.  The Adopt a Highway sign will be placed at the start points on each side of FM103 and will reflect that the road is being tended by the Citizens of Weston Lakes.  Alderman DeLuca will coordinate date pickups, one in each quarter; volunteers, and  pickup of the collected trash by TxDOT.  The volunteers are required to wear safety vests and receive a safety briefing before beginning the trash pickup effort.  Trash is to be placed in bags provided by TxDOT and placed in a designated place for pick up by TxDOT personnel.  Announcement of pickup days and times will be published on in the Weston Lakes Newsletter and on the home page of the City Web Site.

Individuals desiring to volunteer should call the City Offices at (281) 533-0907.
