This video was produced by the Congress for the New Urbanism, and extolls the virtues of walkable urban environments as they relate to the environment and daily life. It begins talking about something everybody’s familiar with – switching from incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescents – then leads into something that saves even more: walkable neighborhoods.
Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.
We have such a nice downtown. It’s a shame that this park has been allowed to become such an eyesore. I wonder if anybody has done an estimate on what it would cost to repair this park. I know that the city has a shortfall in this year’s budget. Maybe if we could get a estimate on the cost, we could perhaps have a fund raiser to fix and repair.
