Best Southwest Cities Adopt Resolutions Backing Trinity Toll Road
October 24, 2007
The city councils of Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Duncanville and Lancaster – collectively known as the Best Southwest Cities – recently adopted resolutions supporting the proposed Trinity Parkway in Dallas.
Cedar Hill’s and DeSoto’s resolutions directly encourage Dallas voters to defeat Proposition 1 on the Nov. 6 ballot, which calls for blocking construction of a high-speed toll road inside the Trinity River levees.
Officials with the cities say that killing the toll road, which is designed to relieve traffic congestion around downtown Dallas, would jeopardize southern sector projects, such as reconstructing the Mixmaster and widening south Interstate 35E and U.S. Highway 67. Three of the resolutions passed unanimously.
The Duncanville council split 4-3, with the minority saying the city shouldn’t campaign in another jurisdiction’s election. The cities sent their resolutions, which carry no legal weight, to Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert last week.
