Robbing Peter to pay Paul......so what happens to Peter?

[AGH]

My sources tell me that the trees actually ended up on Coit, not somewhere on the West side of town. That still doesn't change the fact that the city said that they would put trees back on Rollator when the project was done. That seems to have been kind of got forgotten about.

To answer your original question - Peter was killed by the Romans over his faith -



the again so was Paul, so I dunno...





what was the question again?

Trees need to be the last in. We live in the area and they planted and watered grass only to dig it up formturn lanes into the church and new housing and replant..then plant trees then dig up grass again and trees for the pipe... What a waste. While trees look nice, lower my taxes and I can live without them.

I don't have a problem with Frisco's tax rate and I don't have a problem with my taxes being spent on trees. Frisco is not the highest in the area and not the lowest, but a city can never have too many trees. It's one of those quality of life things that keep giving generation after generation.

The median in question is pretty much done and has been for years. They decided another water main was needed and tore it up. The funding for the trees should have been in place before the project was started. This is how areas of town become blighted.

Understand all the changes.. We have been in our house 17 years in that area.. We were here before the light was even up at Rolator and Preston...

I wonder where the funding for the trees on Coit went....and so on and so on....Something else got funded instead of putting the trees back on Rolator.

There used to be a $250,000/year median development fund, but somewhere in the belt tightening that got thrown out. Now I can understand reducing it, but stopping it altoghther doesn't seem to be the answer. We're still building roads around town, but now there is no money to make the medians look presentable.

Roads and bridges around here are a joke of planning. Built it, then turn around and redo it. Right after the put in the median on Eldorado around Teel, they tore it up to put in turn lanes and lights... The bridge on 423 was built only to be redone a year later. Put a little more effort into the planning people.
