Houston, dial 311

Most Houstonians know they can dial 311 to report potholes or any other need for city services. However, it can take time to explain the problem 3-4 times over the phone. This is especially frustrating when the problem (nonexistent, incorrect and contradictory street and highway signs are chief among my peeves) persists unresolved anyway.

I just learned we may email our complaints or requests to 311@cityofhouston.net. I believe I'll do so to let them know of the broken link in the SimHouston Spanish documentation that led me to this tidbit.
