Title
Consider and take action on an ordinance establishing a “No Parking, Stopping, or Standing” zone on a portion of Campbell Drive, from League City Parkway to 350 feet north, between the hours of 7:25 a.m. to 8:10 a.m. and 3:05 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on school days (Executive Director of Development Services)
