Cooks Lane Pipeline

Lots of information sharing in Fort Worth these days.  A couple of incoming emails.  WHO has the scoop?  WHO's land will be next?  YOURS?

Just wanted to touch base with you and wanted to let you know that Texas Midstream, a division of Chesapeake, just served us papers for our land on Cooks Lane where the Best Western project is supposed to go and they want to take over the land for a period of two years to develop an underground pipeline. They are currently going through the process of eminent domain to obtain the easement rights to take over our land, can you pass this message along to our east Ft. Worth community so everyone can see how a big bully is now pushing us around to get us to do what they want.

The land mentioned in this email is at the NW corner of I-30 and Cooks Lane, close to where I used to live. There was going to be a new Best Western hotel there, but now Chespeake is taking it to put a pipeline through there. Think anyone would want to stay in a hotel built over a gas pipeline?


I don't know which direction the pipeline will go in - north and south, crossing under I-30 or east and west. If it's east and west, then they will probably go through the Morrison Ranch which is just behind the houses in Cobblestone. This might be a good time for people living there to get out before the pipeline goes through.

You gotta do more than "pass the message along" about corporate bullying. Maybe two words will help you use the f & u terms: San Bruno.

F as in FIGHT BACK and U as in UNITE AS A GROUP.

THE MOTTO IS : DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

WHATS THE PEOPLES? Better be more than whining about corporate bullying while letting them conquer with putting up a fight...you know, American revolution and Texas Independence/ The Alamo??
