City Council District 9
A Letter from Councilmember Sheffie Kadane
Letter:
Greetings!
What makes District 9 a great place to live and raise a family? It’s the people, and the special landmarks we’ve all enjoyed for many generations. Think of all the special places we have; White Rock Lake, the Arboretum and the most popular dog park in the City.
We also have many unique neighborhoods. Each has its own style and character and each has plenty of proud homeowners. Mid century moderns, sprawling ranches and funky Little Forrest Hills charmers; there’s a fit for every taste.
Our neighborhoods are our best asset so that’s why I worked hard this past budget season to add resources to reinvent our Code Department. We are moving from Code Enforcement to Code Compliance by providing staff with the resources and tools to help educate residents on how to bring their properties into compliance and enhance the curb appeal of our neighborhoods. We have added a new Community Prosecutor who will help make our neighborhoods even better.
You may have noticed that work is underway for improvements and repairs of the White Rock Spillway. Construction is expected to be completed in the spring of 2010. I encourage you to keep up with our progress and get updates on the project Web site.
And we are also working on expanding our trail system. In the coming months you’ll be hearing about expansions to the Katy Trail and the development of new trials such as the East Dallas Veloway, Trinity Strand, Cottonwood, Preston Ridge and Five Mile Creek trails.
We have recently secured the funding to move forward with the Garland Road Vision plan. This is exciting.
I am committed to serving you. Please contact my office with any concerns, ideas or suggestions. Together, we can build a strong and vibrant community.
Best regards,
Sheffie Kadane
