Letter from concerned parent
I am a parent of a 4th grader currently attending Wayne Stuart Ryan
Elementary. If no changes are made and no high schools built, she will
now be attending DHS.
I agree with most of the statements presented. There is a REASON we
moved to Forrestridge...the school proximities and to be around students
that are also neighbors.
I am wondering if the board is taking into consideration that we pay
HIGH property taxes for this reason. I do not have a problem with the
faculty at DHS; I know several of them. I do have a problem with
bussing my child across town when there is a school 2 miles away that is
on my way to work.
I will gladly assist in any endeavor we feel as a neighborhood that
will benefit our arguments to the zoning committee. I do agree that we
will have to come up with an alternative plan to present rather than
just complain.
Sincerely,
Audrey Bryant

I looked at the map and actually had the exact same idea myself after seeing the first rediculous map, but had no way of determining the numbers, so I just dropped it.
One small argument in favor of Jim's boundaries is that there are only, really three main thoroughfares that cross I-35 that would be used by people trying to get from South Denton to DHS (Fort Worth Drive, Lillian Miller, and Teasley). Between 7:30 and 8:15 in the morning these intersections are very congested adding additional time to an already longer commute. From Forrestridge, it takes approximately 5 minutes to get to Guyer and at least 25 minutes to get to DHS during morning traffic. Sometimes Fort Worth Drive is backed up nearly to Country Club Road; Lillian Miller is a night mare; and Teasley is very congested because of all the McMath traffic.
Not that the School Board cares, but putting all the kids south of I-35 in Guyer would probably make a significant difference in the traffic problems at those intersections during morning rush hour.
