@cmjsgates@TxDOT TXDOT commissioned that work long ago; it was being done in 2015-2016 while we did our Area Plan work. It was therefore not one of our traffic recommendations and shouldn’t be touted as a promise fulfilled. None of our Taskforce traffic solutions have been pursued by the city.
@cmjsgates@DallasFireRes_q@CityOfDallas Our Area Plan Taskforce specifically recommended the light be “deactivated at all times, except when emergency vehicles are in active service” (page 31). You promised to do it. You never did.
@cmjsgates@CityOfDallas@NCTCOGtrans@TollTagNews You firmly oppose our Taskforce recommendation to build the Tollway off-ramps at Walnut Hill Lane and Lovers Lane. You told Robert Wilonsky in a column of his on August 10, 2018 that “there are other things I would do with transportation dollars."
@cmjsgates@DMNOpinion Let’s hold a public debate and invite all the people affected by your decision to shelve the Northwest Highway and Preston Road Area Plan that you commissioned, our Taskforce produced, and City Council adopted. You and I will debate. You name the time and place. I will be there.
@cmjsgates@NCTCOGtrans Because you did not fund the underground garage that our Taskforce recommended, the private and public matching funds did not come through. The current effort, funded by NCTCOG and championed by Preston Center business owners, is a poor substitute to gerrymander what’s there now.
