QA Sidewalk on Wildflower Way (216.8 KiB)

A compiled list of responses is attached below updated through May 18.

Wildflower Way Sidewalk Vote (208.9 KiB)

The City will be repairing failed curbs and gutters on Columbus Trail from Mc Cart Avenue to Summer Creek Drive, and overlay Columbus Trail where the existing pavement is asphalt. Existing concrete pavement sections similar to what Summer Creek and Hulen Heights Subdivision have will not be affected. The work is expected to take several weeks and Columbus Trail will remain open to traffic.

All,

The sidewalk issue is still not settled. Last Saturday, Georgia and I met with the City Engineer, Riad Nusrallah, and homeowners on the south side of Wildflower Way to discuss the sidewalk construction details. The homeowners had questions and wanted the City to answer them in writing. They also wanted to have another vote on the sidewalks and I agreed. So this is what we are doing:

1) I have asked the Wildflower Way folks to email me their questions by 5pm tomorrow.

2) I will gather all the questions and submit them to the City for responses

3) Once we receive the City’s responses, Georgia will email everyone the questions, the responses, and ask everyone to give us their comments on the sidewalks one more time. Residents will have at least one week to review the materials and submit their comments to us.

4) I will once again compile the comments, send them to you and ask HOA board members (Bo, Theresa, Jack, Jay, and Steve) to vote to approve or disapprove the sidewalks by email.

The Summer Creek HOA Board has voted on a resolution concerning the proposed sidewalk construction on the south side of Wildflower Way. The vote was 4-1 in support of the construction.

Bo Cung, Jack Jordan, Theresa Weddell, and Steve Laidlaw voted for the resolution. Jay White voted against the resolution.

Bo will work Councilman Jordan, city staff, and affected property owners to ensure the impacts to their properties are minimized. He will also ask City staff to meet with folks who live on the south side of Wildflower Way to discuss the proposed construction in details.

The public comments conerning the proposed sidewalk construction on wildflower way are posted below.

If you have an opinion concerning this issue, please send an email stating your support or opposition to this project to Bo Cung, SCHA President at bocung@gmail.com or bo.cung@att.net before 3pm Monday, April 23, 2012.

Summer Creek Residents – A Word from the City of Fort Worth

“The City of Fort Worth is installing sidewalks on the south side of Wildflower Way from Summer Creek Drive to Ocean.  Construction is expected to begin immediately, and the sidewalk will be positioned at the curb face so the trees can be saved.

The City Parkway Inspector has requested the homeowner’s association trim the trees along Wildflower from Summer Creek to Rain Dance so branches do not impede pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks.” – Transportation and Public Works Dept Program Coordinator

The Association is asking all Summer Creek Residents living on the south side of Wildflower to help in the efforts to keep their own trees trimmed as well. Having this sidewalk will add a safety feature to this busy street for pedestrian traffic, especially the kids on their way to and from school. The work done is expected to take a couple of weeks so expect some extra traffic for the rest of April.
