The openings are a part of the multiyear initiative—which sparked from a challenge by Houston Mayor John Whitmire in 2024—to modernize the approximately 20-year-old restroom facilities of both of Houston’s airports, per the release.

What's changed: In the first five months of this year, restrooms near IAH gates A12, A25 and D7 as well as Hobby gates 28-32, per the release. Renovated restrooms in Terminal A baggage claim at IAH are expected to open before the summer.

Restroom renovations include:

• Expanded stalls to accommodate carry-on luggage
• Improved Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility

• Upgraded fixtures for durability and cleanliness
• Smart technology to alert staff of bathroom needs

Some members of Houston City Council submitted their amendments to the mayor’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2026-27.

What’s new: Several amendments addressed the newly proposed $5 solid waste fee.

Council members Mario Castillo and Alejandra Salinas submitted amendments that would use the city’s Water Aid to Elderly Residents Fund (WATER) to assist helping residents pay for the newly proposed fee. Salinas also proposed to move $3 million from a $37.5 million allocation for Houston Public Works management consulting services to illegal dumping enforcement and cleanup instead.

Council member Joaquin Martinez made amendments that would require an analysis before making future solid waste fee increases, to determine whether it could be eliminated for seniors, veterans and disabled residents. He also included an amendment that would make the $5 fee permanent unless council voted to change it, as well as cap it at $25.

Also of note: Other amendments included addressing oversight and transparency needs and city parks.
