Fort Worth to consider another gas well site and change the name of Pier 1 Place

by PegNews wire

The Fort Worth City Council will be meeting Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the usual place. This week's agenda will include:

• Consideration for a permit allowing Chesapeake to put a gas well at 1093 Oak Grove Road within 600 Feet of Carter Park. This public hearing is continued from a previous meeting and will include the usual reports by city staff and citizen presentations.
• This week the city will be authorizing the purchase of: a security system for the municipal parking garage, lawn equipment for the Parks and Community Services department, and passenger vans for the police department. (Can we say paddywagon?)
• The council will also be voting to change the name of the street "Pier 1 Place" to "Energy Way." I'm guessing this will pass, it seems like bad "juju" to keep a street named after a company that folded.
• The council will be voting on the authorization of agreements for general city upkeep (ie: pedestrian and street scape improvements in the Hemphill/Berry Urban Village area, a storm water system, pavement construction and a sewer main, etc).
