Hopefully the new candidates will be willing to spill their guts on where they stand on the hot button issues. Not just a bunch of "I want to serve my community" BS.
Even before a school was built, the traffic situation was getting worse on Holleman Drive South. Mission Ranch was proposed and getting bids, which would have placed an enormous strain on the road.Oogway said:
It is my impression, perhaps erroneous, that they do 'talk,' i.e. the District had land at Hollemon and Deacon back in 2015 and about that time the same year, the City sent out bids to widen Hollemon (because a school will necessitate safer wider roads). Even after the District swapped parcels to the current location of River Bend (still along Hollemon), the widening project was going to happen. Did Hollemon need widening? Probably, but just like the addition of the school complex along Greens Prairie allowed for expanding infrastructure in that area, the City planners are often in discussions with the District. In the end, I believe both entities get what they want out of it. That can be a good or bad thing, depending upon one's view and one's stake in the outcome.
As far as land purchases go, the District does have a need to stay ahead of the escalating property values, but neither they nor the CIty should stockpile land at the taxpayers expense. It is a tricky balance, that is.
