Median Madness Postponed Due to Weather, Now March 8
2/20/25 – Houston City Council Member Fred Flickinger has postponed Round 2 of Median Madness because of weather predictions. Instead of February 22, the City will now hold the event on March 8 from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
Median Madness is a volunteer event in which Kingwood residents work with City crews to clear vines and underbrush encroaching on Kingwood Drive. The goal: to enhance the beauty of the community and improve traffic safety.
Weather predictions for this Saturday morning call for near freezing temperatures and a high probability of rain. Hence, the postponement.
If You Haven’t Yet Signed Up…
If you missed the first Median Madness event held last November, you missed some fun.
Residents and City Council Members attacked the vines which had been encroaching on traffic and trimmed them back with enthusiasm.
The November event focused on the south side of the median facing Kingwood Lakes. The March event will focus on the north side facing Kings Forest.
The City will close one lane of Kingwood Drive westbound traffic for parking. Please carpool to save space. And remember:
- Bring water
- Wear gloves
- Wear close-toed shoes.
All ages are welcome but those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Sign up for more details and to download a release form at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0848A8A823A5FBC70-55227367-median.
Park between Kings Creek Drive and Forest Shores Drive. That’s about a block past Kings Forest Drive and a block short of Shady Run. You’ll see markers when you get there.
