Attention all Santa Helpers!
Santa and Mrs. Clause will be collecting non-perishable food items for the Hearts and Hands of Baytown on December 17th at Travis Elementary. This Food Drive will help feed the hungry in the Baytown community.
Additionally, there will be a Golf Cart parade! The LCA will host a Christmas Golf Cart Parade to assist with the food collections. Anyone along the parade routes wanting to donate non-perishable food items may flag down one of the Golf Carts in the parade, which will pick up and deliver those items to the Food Collection Point. Community members may also drive to Travis Elementary School to drop off the food items; at 100 Robin Rd, Baytown, Tx 77520, between 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
Please note: The Golf Cart Parade includes, Golf Carts, ATVs, Four Wheelers, Bikes, Motorcycles, Trucks, and anyone that might want to walk in the parade. The Parade will run from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, starting in front of Travis Elementary and ending in front of the cafeteria. If you are interested in entering the parade, RSVP by 5 pm December 13th by texting your name and vehicle type to Renita Price at 817-946-2543.
We encourage all vehicles to have Christmas decorations, the LCA will have a gift for the top three decorated vehicles.
Lakewood Park Survey Results
by Randee King on Nov.08, 2022, under Association News
Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out the park survey. The City received 184 responses, with the top location choice being the Pool property. Residents top amenities were a loop walking path, dog park with separate sections, playground and splash pad. The next steps are for all the properties to be evaluated more extensively by Parks and Recreation. Per the City, they have several things they need to do before a final decision is made. The City does not have a timeline yet on when that will be completed. We will post updates when we receive them.
Neighborhood Grant Options – Please Vote
by Randee King on Nov.06, 2022, under Association News
Lakewood has been extremely fortunate to have received Neighborhood Empowerment Grants from the City of Baytown for the last two years. With these funds we have a new Lakewood sign to beautify our neighborhood plus sign toppers to encourage a sense of belonging within the neighborhood and exhibit pride in our subdivision.
We once again have an opportunity to apply for a City grant. The feedback we received was discussed with the City as potential grant options: 1) A neighborhood block party with inflatables, food and games, 2) Solar Speed Radar Signs, 3) Walking Path along Pipeline Right-of-Ways, and 4) Moveable Road Sign for event announcements. The City felt that only the first two options would be competitive for grant funding.
The Block Party would have games, food and entertainment for adults, teens and children and include the purchase of yard games that can be used at multiple events. Those games could also be potentially loaned out to residents.
Solar Speed Radar signs would be a pilot for the City and be located initially on two of the speed limit sign posts in Lakewood. Studies have shown that when alerted by a radar sign, speeders will slow down 80% of the time with typical average speed reductions of 10-20%.
Please vote now by selecting one of the following options then click on ‘Vote”. Fingers crossed that it will be selected by the City for a grant.
