If you can t participate in the Great American Cleanup but still want to rid your home of household hazardous waste, the Environmental Collection Center, at 6400 Bridge St., provides a safe alternative to dumping polluting chemicals into storm drains. The center serves 23 area cities, and Fort Worth residents may dispose of chemical products at the center for free. The center is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Parks and Community Services Department has a variety of day camp activities planned to keep the youngsters entertained. The recent deluge of rain, while helping to end the drought, has created another problem, one of which drivers are all too aware - potholes.
Potholes are more frequent during Texas winters.
When warm weather alternates with frigid temperatures, asphalt expands and shrinks with the temperature changes, making it erode more quickly. The City of Fort Worth's goal is to repair potholes within two to three working days of their locations being reported by citizens. Be sure to give as precise directions to the pothole as possible so the street crews will be able to repair it more quickly. The calendar was labeled with the incorrect month. A public hearing will be held during the 7 p.m. March 6 City Council meeting regarding a request from the Fort Worth Independent School District to convert Seminary Hills Park for use as an elementary school.
