Letters...

Another stand out Letter to the Editor in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram today.

One narrow, two-lane road — Tiger Trail — is the only entrance into and exit out of our neighborhood. Tarrant County commissioners and other government entities have ignored our pleas for relief from the heavy traffic of drilling rigs, tanker trucks, fraccing trailers, etc. that clog this artery.

Our neighborhood of about 200 homes, located south of the Fort Worth city limits and about five miles south of Benbrook, has been ignored. The majority of the drilling is less than 600 yards inside the Fort Worth city limits north of our neighborhood. The traffic moves off Tiger Trail onto land immediately to the north (within 15 feet) of our homes, to the drilling locations.

There is plenty of easy access to the well sites directly from U.S. 377, where there are no homes, but because we were such a small voice and the drilling companies are so powerful, our recommendations that they move directly from 377 are ignored.

Only state Sen. Wendy Davis has come out and listened to our woes. We appreciate that, but still we have no relief. We need help to continue to operate and have viable passage from our neighborhood to get to and from our jobs, church, school and other activities without being stopped by large trucks blocking our narrow road. This is an emergency and possibly deadly disaster waiting to happen.
