Reminder - Upcoming Events!
Wednesday, December 7 - DART Cotton Belt/Silver Line meeting at Texas AgrilLife building. 7 pm. At the last meeting, DART announced construction on Coit will cause traffic to be restricted to one lane each direction for approximately 8 months while Hillcrest is reduced to one lane each direction. They said they had worked closely with the city, but the Assistant City Manager in attendance, Robert Perez, said he had not heard of it. I had not heard of it. When asked, they admitted they had not talked to the Fire Chief or anyone in the police department about it. The status of Coit Road during construction is unclear. Some say it was a tactic to divert attention away from the permanent design change on Coit. Dart is now saying they will build the road "hump" over the tracks 17' in the air, a change from the Inter Local Agreement (ILA) and City Manager T.C. Broadnax has indicated he will allow it.
DART announced today that they will begin placing the first sound wall along the tracks. It will be on the north side of the tracks between Campbell and Davenport. They are only placing a few panels, not the whole stretch. This meeting is your chance to ask questions directly to DART and hear the latest directly from them and their construction contractor, AWH.
