The City Council will vote this Thursday, September 27, on a
“land swap” which could amount to a $1.3 million corporate giveaway that
undermines the Crestview/Wooten neighborhood plan and is opposed by the
neighborhood association. Crestview Neighborhood Association asks neighbors
throughout the Northcross area to call City Council members today and Wednesday
to oppose the land swap.
WHAT IS THE LAND SWAP?
The proposal before Council would give Stratus, owner of the
land where the Crestview Station development will be built, and Trammel Crow,
the Crestview Station developer, 5.5 acres on Ryan Street next to the location of the
planned commuter rail station. In exchange, the City would receive 2 acres near
the southwest corner of Lamar and Morrow.

The State Rail Plan came out a couple of years ago. It is really for the purpose of quantifying
what the rail needs in the State are. It
was useful in passing the Rail Relocation Fund bill and constitutional
amendment and illustrates the amount of money needed throughout the state for
rail projects.

The Light Bulb Shop is right here in Allandale and they can supply you with a bulb for just about anything you have that needs one – lamps, recessed lights, microscopes, or simple energy saving bulbs for your entire house. It’s probably the latter they sell most. Energy saver compact fluorescent have gone from taking up 2 shelves space in the store 2 years ago to a occupying an entire wall today. The Light Bulb shop also sells bulbs for stage and studio lighting, photo lamps for projectors, and bulbs for medical and scientific equipment purchased by places like Seton Hospital and the J.J. Pickle Research Center. Needless to say it’s the place to go to find bulbs that you’re not able to find anywhere else.
