April Program Notes
At our next meeting, Dominic Chavez (our Vice
President), will offer a resolution for COVNA to discuss and
consider asking the city of Austin to immediately fund some
of the more notorious intersections and roadways around our
neighborhood. As he states, “Unfortunately, the city only
listens to those who scream the loudest. Perhaps now is the
time for COVNA to join the chorus.”
He adds, “Since moving to the neighborhood 3 years ago,
I have watched some of our neighborhood roads get progressively
worse. The intersection of Slaughter and Manchaca is constantly
congested with near accidents and utter confusion. Davis Lane
is in total disrepair and increasingly congested and dangerous,
particularly at the intersection at Brodie Lane. Our area of
town is growing fast, yet it appears the city of Austin is doing
next to nothing to help accommodate that growth, particularly
with respect to transportation. In fact, while we passed over
one-half billion dollars in bonds last May, Public Works was
not granted any money for new transportation improvements.”
Please
help!
COVNA needs someone to volunteer to be the secretary.
The job only takes about two or three hours a month.
