Dear
Neighbors,
Thank you to
all who were able to attend the Northeast Neighborhood Alliance
meeting this week. I was pleased to see this group continue with a
strong presence during the vacationing months. As a reminder, the
next community meeting will be our District 10 Meeting on August
15th, 2016, at 7PM at the Tool Yard.
Once City
Council resumes in August, we can expect to receive public meeting
schedules for the 2017 Bond Program and the Fiscal Year 2017
Budget. I encourage all of you to attend these meetings and speak
up for District 10.
We have
included in this edition information about the Tuttle Power Plant
demolition. Residents in the area can expect to see demolition
trucks entering and exiting along Perrin Beitel. CPS has indicated
they are scheduling trucks to drive during non-peak traffic hours,
and will be using cones and flagmen to guide traffic. CPS has also set
up a hotline and email address for weekly updates on the demolition
project.
We have also
included information on the City's Sidewalk Cost-Sharing Program,
where the City and residents share the cost of installing or
replacing sidewalks. Residents are to call 311 to request to be a
part of this program. The Transportation and Capital Improvements
department will provide you with a quote indicating your portion of
the cost, and you can determine if you wish to move forward.
The Northeast
Corridor Quarterly Business Development Meeting is on July 29th. If
you are thinking about starting a business and want to learn more
about securing capital, I encourage you to attend. There will be
presentations by traditional and non-traditional lenders who will be
available for questions afterwards. Breakfast will be
provided.
Thank you for
staying actively involved in our community and for your strong
support of District 10.
Sincerely,
Mike Gallagher
City Councilman
District 10

Tuttle
Power Plant Demolition
CPS has begun the final phase of
the Tuttle Power Plant demolition project. From July-December 2016,
neighbors of the Tuttle Power Plant can expect to hear some noise and
construction traffic at the entrance along Perrin Beitel. Please
note: no explosives are being used to demolish the plant, and
dust-suppression measures are in place.
To address traffic concerns, CPS
has shared the following:
- All
contractor vehicles carrying personnel will enter/exit through
the North Gate at 9911 Perrin Beitel Rd.
- All
demolition traffic will exit by making a right turn only onto
Perrin Beitel Rd.
- Demolition
trucks will be scheduled so that high traffic times are not
interrupted.
- During
delivery of heavy equipment, flagmen wearing high-visibility
vests and TxDOT approved flags will be used to assist trucks
entering and exiting the property.
CPS has also established a hotline
that provides weekly updates on the project. You can call (210)
353-3366, or email tuttledemo@cpsenergy.com.

The City of San Antonio Sidewalk Cost
Sharing Program is a voluntary program where owner-occupants and the
City of San Antonio share in the cost of installing or replacing
sidewalks. For FY 2016 (October 1, 2015 - Sept 30, 2016), the City
has $250,000 available that can be used towards repairing sidewalks
and curbs along residential properties.
COST: The cost share that
residents are required to provide will range from 30-50% of the cost
to replace the sidewalk. The share that residents need to provide
will depend on their residential location. If the property is located
in a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) area, as designated by
the Federal Government, residents may qualify for the City paying 70%
of the total cost of repair.
Measure the existing linear feet of
sidewalk along your property line, then call 311 (210-207-6000) to
determine the cost sharing rate. 311 will submit all service requests
to Transportation & Capital Improvements for investigation and a
formal cost estimate.
