TALK OF THE TOWN CENTER

I wish the author (“Lake Highlands Town Center, September Advocate) would have talked to our group about the article before publishing, as it gave free reign to DART to cause misinformation like the following: Michael Hellman says, “with the recent addition of the light rail station, it’s so much more cost effective, as well as a better trail route, to connect through the station and on up to Lake Highlands North Park as a wide sidewalk along the road.”

Yet the light rail station has always been a part of the plans for the Town Center, and without it, the Town Center would have never been built — Michael Hellman says that the trail system is a “user-based crime watch” because “most people who use the trails are the kind of folks who use cell phones and report stuff.”

And yet, this year a group of men were sentenced to decades in prison for beating and leaving for dead a woman using the Katy Trail just last year.

We aren’t a crazy group of chicken-littles who think the sky is falling. Our group is excited about the Town Center and all it can bring to LH. But we do care about the safety and quality of life in our neighborhood.

Most of all, we aren’t just a “group of neighbors” as the article states. We are, in fact, the majority of neighbors in Lake Highlands North who are trying to not only save White Rock Trail, but to save our neighborhood as well.
