Mayor Rawlings memo to Council on Trinity Parkway Advisory Committee members

The following memo from Mayor Mike Rawlings regarding Trinity Parkway Advisory Committee members was sent today to the Dallas City Council:

“Citizen input is a critical and promised component of the Trinity Parkway planning process. To that end, I asked Council member Sandy Greyson and Jere Thompson Jr., former North Texas Tollway Authority chair, to each appoint three members to the Trinity Parkway Advisory Committee. The members they selected are:

  • Ambassador Ron Kirk, former S. Trade Representative and Dallas mayor
  • Rafael Anchia, Texas House
  • Angela Hunt, former Dallas City Council member
  • Chancellor Lee Jackson, University of North Texas System
  • Mary Ceverha, founder and former president, Trinity Commons Foundation
  • RobertMeckFessel,formerpresidentoftheAmericanInstituteofArchitectsDallas

The purpose of this committee is the following:

  1. To review the work of the Trinity Parkway Technical Committee and to advise on whether the final design of the road was true to the 20 points presented to the City Council last year by Larry
  2. To share their advisory opinions of the same with the City Council through testimony to be taken by Transportation & Trinity River Project Committee Chair Lee

The technical committee, appointed by the city manager, has been meeting for the past several months. The purpose of that committee is to do a technical review to ensure the 20 ideas can be achieved within the current federal Record of Decision.

Mr. Beasley will present results of that technical review to the advisory committee and facilitate discussion among the group members in the coming weeks. The advisory committee findings will be shared with the technical committee and presented to the Transportation & Trinity River Project Committee at the end of February. Please let me know if you have any questions.”
