They assure me that they...I spoke with TXDOT today. They assure me that they will have the stuff moved by "mid-Summer." However, she said that TXDOT wants to continue using the site. I clearly stated that we would vigorously oppose any further use of the site. <br /><br />Here are my follow up emails.<br /><br />--------------<br /><br />Follow up letter to Dennis Shingleton's office:<br /><br />(Thank you for your help)... please convey to the councilman that from this point forward, the shoreline community will aggressively oppose any further industrial use of this site on the shoreline of Lake Worth - whether "temporary" or permanent. We appreciate TXDOT's important mission and have complete faith that its incredibly smart staff can accomplish their goals without having to derail our revitalization efforts by using that site. <br /><br />I understand that the jurisdiction of the site is the State of Texas and not the City of Fort Worth. Nevertheless, I have complete confidence that the councilman can aid us communicating our efforts.<br /><br />Thank you for your help and support on this issue.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Michael Dallas<br /><br />--------------------------------<br />Follow up letter to Charlie Geren's office:<br /><br />I was happy to hear that TXDOT will have the stuff moved by "mid-Summer." However, she also said that TXDOT wanted to use the site during the winter as a "temporary location." I said that site is no longer acceptable for any industrial work - permanent or temporary. Storing rocks, salt, and other material, and tearing up the ground into an unsightly mess defeats our decade long efforts in revitalizing the Lake Worth area. That location is key. It is the gateway to the Lake Worth area. <br /><br />From this point forward, we will aggressively and vigorously oppose any further industrial use of the site whether permanent or temporary. The site in question will eventually have a freeway over it. When that site is no longer available, I am confident that TXDOT will still be able to find other locations to accomplish its mission. TXDOT needs to find those other locations now. This site is no longer acceptable for that type of use.<br /><br />Please convey my comments to Mr. Geren and TXDOT.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Michael DallasMichael Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005487218319622612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180354618443286409.post-77176389028732104032015-05-02T20:02:16.216-05:002015-05-02T20:02:16.216-05:00That Area USED TO BE FILLED W/ beautiful wildflowe...That Area USED TO BE FILLED W/ beautiful wildflowers- what a waste!Mark Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730870554456040232noreply@blogger.com
