Forever Gutters never should have been allowed to build that big, ugly, blue metal building they have on Deats Rd. And the house next door to it is nothing but a trashy garbage heap. Why doesn't Dickinson at least have deed restrictions? I am embarrassed to own a home on Deats Rd.

There are two abandoned homes at Timber and 28th St in Dickinson. I would like the city to demolish or rebuild these homes. There is lots of drug activity on the other side of Timber, and these homes are just sitting and waiting for drug addicts or teenagers looking for trouble to inhabit them. It would benefit the neighborhood to have them demolished. This is a serious concern for me because my son waits for the bus right down the road, and they are both so close to the drug activity on the other side of highway 3.

I think we could all benefit from a partial quiet zone (no trail horns from 10 pm to 6 am). Citizens who wish to have a quiet zone in their neighborhood must do so through their local government. I have researched the 6 crossings in Dickinson (FM517 WB, FM517 EB, Olive St., FM646, Deats Rd. and Hughes Rd.) and we qualify since our crossings have flashing lights and crossing arms. I have also researched the accident reports for all crossings and the last accident was 03/19/95. I would be happy to share my research with the City of Dickinson and any other interested Dickinson citizen.

29th street and timber along with 30th street and timber are currently owned by the City and carry a functional classification of local streets. These two streets at these intersections are not allowed to continue through to connect because of the Centerpoint transmission line easement that cuts through the area. Presently these two right of way areas are overgrown with vegetation. These areas could be converted into neighborhood green spaces and a small neighborhood dog park. There are several families within a two or three block radius that have small children and dogs that would benefit from such a conversion. These parks along with the construction of several new homes in this area will only enhance the quality of life for the residents and increase residential home values which will increase municipal tax base.

The city has posted online proposed and approved amounts for street repairs. I know they approved $74,000 for my street of only 450 linear feet to be repaired. Today I saw a city of Dickinson truck with a small asphalt trailer repair 3 holes no more than 10 linear feet and you could hardly call these patches! Where is all this money going because clearly it’s not the streets. I guess it’s time to call the news and find an attorney.

What's the purpose of this wrap at bottom of trunk? And young trees should not be staked more that 1-2 years, tops, to keep them from blowing down as they form roots. It's the wind that actually triggers the tree to develop its resilience and strength on the cellular level, and too long or too much tension from the stakes can hinder this process. These trees are two years old, aren't they?
