The month of November seems to trigger an inner response of reflection for things we are grateful in our daily lives. This past year, I have been afforded several opportunities to engage with my community of neighbors on a deeper level, for which I am grateful. My time in office continues to deepen my roots in our communities, yet also build upon new relationships with those whom are looking to be more engaged in our city. Much work has been done, but there is always more to do. Keep engaging our office. We look forward to working with our neighborhoods to make District 4 the best place to live, work and play!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful and safe Happy Thanksgiving!

District 4 City News
Downtown Fort Worth now has a crew of helpers, all decked out
in neon green shirts, who can help with all that and more. The City Council
approved a downtown PID assessment rate increase to fund the crew, who will
be on duty seven days a week.
In an effort to increase M/WBE participation in the
procurement process, the city has joined other organizations that allow
access to their members.
The city's newest library will provide educational programs
that complement a child's formal education and be an environment that
encourages curiosity, reading and critical thinking. It is scheduled to be
finished in the fall of 2019.
A
federally-funded study to determine the feasibility of passenger rail service
between Oklahoma City and South Texas advanced to the next phase. The
three-segment, 850-mile corridor could eventually provide passenger rail service
into Mexico.
