Last year during spring break, I thought it would be nice to take my daughter to the Houston Zoo one afternoon. I could get some work done early on and still spend the afternoon, walking leisurely with my daughter through the zoo. Wrong.
The parking lot was so full that we drove around for over an hour (I'm not exaggerating) until we finally found a parking spot. Then, the zoo was so crowded that we worried about getting separated.
The good news for spring break 2012 is that the City of Houston is already putting plans to get to help resident and visitors navigate the traffic. The press release below notes when the plans will be announced next week. Here's hoping for a thorough plan that helps Houston families make the most of spring break.
WHAT:
Mayor Annise Parker will announce
suggested driving directions and recommended parking locations for visitors to
Houston’s most popular attractions during spring break (Saturday, March 10,
thru Sunday, March 18) to provide a continuous flow of vehicles coming
and going throughout the week. The City of Houston
has partnered with the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, Houston Museum
District, Hermann Park
/ Houston Zoo and METRO to create easy access to Houston’s
hottest spring break destinations – the rodeo, museums and zoo.
