Unsat Motel Open

5779-5803 S R L Thornton Fwy Dallas, TX 75232, USA - Wolf Creek

The Linfield Inn Motel has a lightpole leaning sideways and the back part of the motel (facing my house) is not taken care of. It looks like an abondoned building and the grass grows fence high.

The phone pole has been fixed. The back of the motel is really bad, I mean really bad, can we please have them fix it or paint it. It looks like an old abondoned building which faces the neighborhood. Can the city make them do this? Could someone please respond and let me know if this is even possible.

Al Dia is littering my neighborhood Open

75206 - m Streets

The Dallas Morning News distributes a weekly spanish language paper called the Al Dia. This paper is distributed free of charge to neighborhoods with statistically latin populations. These yellow papers litter the streets, and mostly go unread. I want to stop this unnecessary waste of resources, and clean up the street from this marketing campaign on behalf of the Dallas Morning News.

I would love to see this addressed as littering. After months of emailing them they stopped for about two months, and then started up again. I have gotten warning notices on my door for leaving my trash bin at the curb until I get home from work, but these people can toss trash in my yard any time they like with no consequences.

The Al Dia newspaper is a bunch of ads with a spanish language newspaper wrapped aroud them. They call themselves "free news" and so can be thrown onto your lawn twice a week without breaking any littering laws. When they pick your neighborhood they deliver it to every house. Most English speaking people open it and see Spanish text and throw it away. There is a small paragraph in English stating that to stop delivery you must call their office and "opt out". I have opted out 12 times and they still throw it in my rosebushes occasionally. Since they are "free news" they do not have to do a criminal backgroud check or other employment info on employees. So the guy throwing trash on your lawn at 3 am is probably an illegal alien wanted for murder in mexico. The Dallas City Council says they are powerless to stop this, which means they get free ads for themselves and family and friends. Al Dia boasts it can deliver your advertisement to 300,000 homes the next day whether they want it or not.

I would like to know also what exact locations is this being a problem, I can volunteer to take all your unwanted newspapers. There are awesome deals and coupons inside and unfortunately where I live there's a lot of coupaners that beat me to the news stands. I can pick up every Saturdays with out a problem :) you can email me at undeadhope@ymail.com

Poor timing on traffic signals: Collin County @ Coit/Frankford/Bush Open

4050 Stonehollow Way Dallas, Texas - Far North

The timing on the traffic signal lights at the intersections of Coit Road and Frankford Road are way out of sync. In the mornings at this intersection it is almost impossible to make a turn to the north from Frankford when heading east because the traffic heading north on Coit has not cleared the intersection when their lights turn red. If you would send a crew there around 8:30 AM you would witness the trouble and problems drivers are having. I believe there are about 3 or 4 intersections there about 200 yards apart causing the backup problems.
Thanks for helping.

Creek erosion due to additional city water dumping Open

6607 Mercedes Ave Dallas, TX 75214, USA - Northeast Dallas

Creek erosion due to additional city water dumping. The City, Sheffie Kadane, did send out the senior engineer, Mr. Milton Brooks to reinspect the erosion problem caused by the City Water dumping process for main pipe repairs on Abrams almost two years ago (2009). Because of this City Water dumping the erosion was catalyzed and now has has claimed private property. Mr. Milton Brooks was courteous and did provide me the same reasons for the work not being repaired yet and why it might not be repaired for another 2 yrs. (Bond not approved). Mr. Brooks did take many pictures that can be compared to the last report to see the progress of the damage. city water dumping. No action and lots of property damage.

Subject: Re: Erosion due to City Water dumping

Mr Kadane and Brooks,

I appreciate the fact that after 3 years the repairs to the errosion are on the bond election for review in November and then if approved action may start in 6 months to a year.
My home at 6615 Mercedes may not survivie the wait. The errosion has impacted my first and second level retaining walls and caused the earth to move towarss the creek.
Creatied crack and leaks in my pool and foundation. Because of this situation my home has devalued over $100K, reduced to poor quality on the tax rolls and is currently not sellable.
Please let me know what you can do before the damage continues to destroy my asset.

Again, Sheffie, since you are just up the street from me, at 6841 Lakeshore Drive, please drop by and I can show you again the deteriorating conditions.

See the latestes pics:

Sincerely,

Kevin

Mr Kadane and Brooks,

We are into the third year since your first visits and still waiting on the city to fix the water damage they have cause. I have now lost at least 5 more feet of property to the creek that the city re-routed for runoff water and it has impacted the condition of my house, pool and property.

Sheffie, since you are just up the street from me, at 6841 Lakeshore Drive, please drop by and I can show you again the deteriorating conditions. I would appreciate some voluntary action on your part to get this right.

Sincerely,

Kevin

Dear Mr. Kadane,

Thank you, the City did send out the senior engineer, Mr. Milton Brooks to reinspect the erosion problem caused by the City Water dumping process for main pipe repairs on Abrams almost two years ago. Because of this City Water dumping the erosion was catalyzed and now has has claimed approximately 5' by 7' by '50' strip of land to fall into the creek and be washed away. This has caused my back yard to slide as evident in the first inspection about two years ago (also inspected and noted by Milton) but much more prevalent today.

The land slide caused by the erosion has:
Slanted, cracked and created leaks in my pool
Cracked the foundation of my patio
Cracked the interior walls and possibly the foundation of my house

Mr. Milton Brooks was courteous and did provide me the same reasons for the work not being repaired yet and why it might not be repaired for another 2 yrs. (Bond not approved). Mr. Brooks did take many pictures that can be compared to the last report to see the progress of the damage. We all know that once erosion has started it will continue until it is controllable stopped. I need the city to own up to the damage done due to the reported water dumping and at least repair the creek wall so that I can save my pool, yard and house from further costly damage.

I will follow up with you soon to see what our friendly City solutions may be.

Sincerely,

Mr Kadane and Brooks,

Bond approved, still no action taken. I have so much damage now to my home, property and pool that I am unable to sell my home for a fraction of its mortgage value. This has now impacted my ability to survive and feed my family. At what point will the city finally do what it should have done so many years ago.

Mr Brooks

This contradicts what Mr Kadane relayed. My property has been damaged by City dumping, continues to be damaged and has made sure that both my property value and sell ability is impossible. I and others were told that repairs would begin this spring.

2016 is not acceptable and I will loose my home. Please help.

Kevin

Caroline,

During our conversation, the situation was never positioned this way. Then I will need to take Sheffie up on his offer for a stop gap solution to implement to avoid further damage until the full project can take place. Please get back to me with the details.

Hi Kevin,

Council member Kadane remembers mentioning that this project was on the Needs Inventory however he says it would have been virtually impossible to determine when the bonds for this project would be sold, until after the bond program was approved. The schedule listed below is the same information he received from staff.

Mr Kadane,

You still have not responded to my prior emails and the damage caused by the city dumping continues with great losses to several families along the creek. The last we spoke, you said that this project would be underway if not done in the spring of this year. Why is Mr Brooks now contradicting what you have told me and what is written in the bond election. This may need to involve others to mediate these issues. What do you suggest?

Please help my family and my neighbors keep our homes.

Sincerely,

Kevin
