I always enjoy reading The Chronicle. I’m disappointed to hear that the train whistles will be silenced. My husband and I grew up in a steel town and those train whistles remind us of our youth. They are a comforting sound to both of us. I usually hear the train whistles at 5:30 am, but they actually lull me back to sleep. 🤗
Same. I grew up near train tracks in Monroe, LA. I read late into the night, and I loved to hear the train whistles at 1 or 2AM. Every once in awhile I can hear them in Coppell in the middle of the night.
I had no idea about the George Coffee community meeting, and I've probably been following the DART Silver Line closer than most Coppell residents, so I'm not surprised at the low turnout. I've been trying to attend that virtual meeting for the past couple months, too, and have ended up just following up with other communities' meetings that have been happening. So how did the George meeting even happen? I am really disappointed that the only way it seems to have been found out was by you just happening to check the website. Seems like there should be an easier way to be notified of these meetings.
Thanks again for all the great journalism! I've been telling everyone I know in Coppell about the Coppell Chronicle. Definitely makes me feel a sense of community through this newsletter.
I agree that we should be able to get notices easily for community meetings. I signed up for texts from the city, but I did not receive a notice about this meeting
I appreciate your updates so I know more of what’s going on in town. I’m curious how the rail line will zigzag through town. Keep up the good work. We need you!
Janet, the Silver Line will largely follow the path of the freight train tracks that already run through the south side of town, parallel to Southwestern Boulevard/East Belt Line Road. But the tracks will dip south of that street between South Coppell Road and Moore Road because Cypress Waters Station will be built on the south side of East Belt Line, across from Kyra Court.

Justin, I think somebody else at the meeting said DART (or Archer Western Herzog) hung a notice of it on their doorknob.

Ahh, I forgot about the texts. I need to sign up for that, too. But yeah, seems like you should've received a text for this one!
