RENEW HOUSTON Good Streets. Good Drainage. A Better Houston!

Background Houston has a growing population and increasing density with greater demands on its drainage and streets.

Population – City of Houston

Density – City of Houston

Current Drainage & Street System 2,800 miles of road side drainage ditches 3,300 miles of storm sewers 6,000 miles of roadways

The Problem Most Streets & Drainage Systems are at, or near, the end of their useful life –60%-65% of streets and drainage systems are beyond their useful life –80% will be beyond their useful life in 20 years

The Problem $10 Billion Needed –$4.9 billion for storm sewers –$4.2 billion for streets –$0.8 billion for bridges

The Problem Not Enough Money –Houston spends $100M per year –Houston needs to spend $500M per year

The Solution - ReNEW Houston 1.Establish a Dedicated Fund a)Gain public trust that funds would not be reallocated for other uses 2.Raise enough money to solve the drainage and streets problem 3.Limit the percent used for O&M to maximize the amount of money available for capital improvements
