@jlassen It’s not torn down! It’s still being used.
English

The #rangers were so jinxed by 2010 and 2011 that they tore down a perfectly good baseball stadium and built a new one.
Turns out it was a good call…

@caraathome @NCTCOGtrans Drivers will go the speed they feel comfortable with. The issue is street design and the built environment.

We all need to slow down. Every 5 minutes, a crash in DFW. Every 12 hours, a fatality crash per @NCTCOGtrans

@caraathome Letting you know as my councilmember that Dallas should abolish parking minimums!
English

Parking in the City of Dallas - policy changes are being discussed. If you would like to share your thoughts, you should let your Councilmember know what you think.

@caraathome Spillover is an indication that on-street parking is underpriced.
English

If you're citing Houston as a model for zoning, I say no thanks. And I don't trust developers to build necessary off-street parking. If that were true, we wouldn't have so much spillover today, because they would have built it in prior projects. candysdirt.com/2023/08/16/dal…

@stevehind Absolutely!
Safe Street Rebel has staged many protests to highlight the dangers of human drivers such as Just A Minute and Great Walkway slow rides.

They’ve been doing it for a couple of years now, so I’m not sure what makes the cone protest “newfound”.

@caraathome @NDCC @NCTCOGtrans That's great news! Is there a planned timeline for when the D12 section of that trail will open?
English

Thank you to the all the nearby HOAs, @NDCC & @NCTCOGtrans for writing letters of support to accompany this application to build the Cotton Belt trail from #D12 Meandering Way to Plano. nbcdfw.app.link/xVK0KJ9nYAb

@caraathome @AirspeedParker I see. So when you say property rights, you’re referring to rights over _other people’s_ property.
That argument applies to any zoning changes, regardless of whether they’re enacted at the state or local level, doesn’t it?
English

@dgouldin @AirspeedParker The rights of the neighbors to enjoy a single family neighborhood, which was in place when they bought their property. This effectively removes all single family zoning and converts it to multifamily zoning.
English

Anyone who votes for this from either party in TX house or TX senate will regret their vote when re-election time comes. #SB1412 #lege #txlege #AccessoryDwellingUnit

@andreardr1 Accessory dwelling unit. #SB1412 would allow the construction of a 2nd dwelling unit *by right* on any single family residential lot & it prohibits cities from enforcing otherwise applicable permeable surface restrictions.
English

@caraathome @AirspeedParker Whose property rights are being overridden? Nobody is forcing owners to add these units on their property.
English

@AirspeedParker People made an investment under a set of rules that said only single family housing. Lawmakers should not override their property rights and change the rules.
English

@caraathome Does that timeline (May-Sept) apply to school zone signage as well? I'm still pushing on the city to respond to my request regarding the Haggar ES school zone.
English

We're in a full city council transportation briefing talking about a variety of initiatives. Just a reminder if you see a street or crosswalk that needs #PavementStriping, call 311 or use OurDallas app. Now-Sept are pavement marking season. Get your project on the list!

@caraathome this is a super interesting video. I'd love to see Dallas and PISD implement some of the strategies outlined here such as closing roads near schools to cars at pick-up and drop-off times.

@caraathome Neighbors make the neighborhood. Let’s have more of them!

Love your neighborhood? This bill could change it significantly. When is the last time you contacted your State Rep? 😱

@caraathome @Knightengale @Jaime_Resendez @TxDOTDallas Agree that we need safe and efficient mobility. Cars and highways are pretty much the opposite of that. They're the least efficient and most deadly mode of mobility.
English

@dgouldin @Knightengale @Jaime_Resendez Stop. We're a growing metroplex that is very spread out. We need safe and efficient mobility. This discussion is just a show for the superurbanists - @TxDOTDallas doesn't need the city's approval.
