City Council District 3
A Letter from Councilmember David A. Neumann
Greetings!
Our District 3 covers 52 square miles and is home to three distinct communities: West Dallas, Oak Cliff, and Mountain Creek. With over 50 neighborhood organizations in our district it’s clear that each area is engaged and taking an active role in working with City government to inform and empower their communities to improve quality of life issues.
Over the past year I’ve been working to link our communities together - and to the rest of the City. Together we’ve been able to better connect City services such as code compliance, police patrol and animal control with our neighborhood needs. We also established a District 3 Partners Program which links our business community with unmet neighborhood needs. It’s been a great partnership which is getting results.
During this fiscal year we will continue those efforts while expanding our focus. We are moving from Code Enforcement to Code Compliance by providing staff with the resources and tools to help educate residents on how to bring their properties into compliance and enhance the curb appeal of our neighborhoods. We are also working to obtain an additional police patrol for Mountain Creek, initiate a pilot program in Oak Cliff to move the entire district towards once a week garbage and recycling pick-up, reduce residential burglaries and redevelop the Wynnewood Village Shopping Center among other projects.
As Chairman of the Trinity River Corridor Project, I continue to do everything possible to expedite the project’s timetable. Once we reclaim our river, improve flood control, construct the Trinity Parkway, and invest in new parks and trails, sustainable development will follow. Already we are seeing some investors construct new, mixed-use developments for the next generation and we’ve recently opened up the Trinity River Audubon Center and Trinity Overlook. You can keep track of our progress by signing up for My Trinity River News by writing mytrinityriver@dallascityhall.com.
Please contact my office at 214-670-0776 or email me with any concerns, ideas or suggestions. Together, we can continue to build a strong, vibrant community and City.
Sincerely,
Dave Neumann
