Voluntary limits on overnight flights would make Love Field a good neighbor. But the trail needs much more to ensure its continued use. Public donations are needed by the Friends of the Katy Trail to build a softer surface and benches along the way. The Uptown Public Improvement District also should be encouraged to continue funding police patrols along the path. The museum features a wide variety of antique trains and railroad cars.
Plans call for antique buses, trolleys and cars to be included.
The West End was a transportation hub in the early 1900s. When a site is named and fund-raising begins the public should give strong support to this project. The plaza will provide an important link between the historic West End and the new American Airlines Center and Victory development. It is vital that these two areas be connected to make sure the new arena is not isolated from the rest of downtown. Limited funds have kept the West End Plaza design from achieving its intended impact.
