It is not uncommon to see mothers trying to push a stroller through this mess. It needs to be fixed.

Not to mention by law it should be made an accessible intersection crossing as it is new construction. Have you made any contact with DART? I assume it is our city's responsibility but you might try them also.Contact community relations.

On 30973 and 30972, City of Garland Engineering AND DART were both contacted on April 13th.

The two requests are being investigated. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for the prompt response in investigating this issue.

Still no progress on this.

Question? What does is take ? Contact our DART board memeber Tracey Whitaker and your councilperson Barbara Chick. I suspect is is the city transportation dept holding this up .I noticed Apollo has been on for MONTHS also - so sad.

A GP&L construction supervisor inspected the site and determined that GP&L is not connected to the removal of or damage to this sidewalk.

Please contact Jay Altom at DART or pcole@dart.org.

Regards

I noticed this had dropped off the map .Did it shrivel from old age? GPL answer is typical.I hear over and over that it is up to the citizen to fix things. Does anyone on the city staff have the impetus/responsiblity to follow up or is this a case, " it is not my dept so go fish?"solve this with a comment, image or video...

This is a case of fixing things for those that can't fix it for themselves. The people most affected by the problem are the ones with no voice. Do you think the single mom pushing a stroller through this mess really has the time to petition Dart to fix their mess?

I've made no head way trying to contact DART about this issue. They're a brick wall. They're likely well aware of the issue, and have no intention of spending money to fix something they didn't do right the first time.

Thank you for caring.I sincerely mean that as I have experience with persons living with disablities.
One cannot assume it is possible or safe for local residents.My point is that it seems to put the burden on the citizen where as a staff person could say,' while not in our area , these are the calls I am making to find a solution".
