Resident urges council to move on repairs to crumbling city screening walls
Summary
Patrick Bridal told the council he and neighbors first raised concerns about decaying city screening walls in 2022 and urged the council to advance the planned assessment and repairs; the council scheduled a work session on Dec. 15 to discuss a timeline.
At the citizens input portion of the meeting, resident Patrick Bridal of Rowlett urged the council not to forget 'Jeff's plan' to rebuild crumbling city screening walls and upgrade City entrances and parkways. Bridal said residents initially emailed the city about the walls in 2022 and described the problem as a 'blight on our community' that affects property values and curb appeal.
Mayor Winget and staff confirmed that the council will schedule a work session on Dec. 15 to discuss repair timelines and assessments; staff previously indicated an assessment could be completed by February or March. Bridal said neighbors are "eager to see action and physical results," and the council acknowledged the concern and set the follow-up work session date.
