How one Dallas man turned the Dallas bureaucracy upside down to get what he wants: a cleaner city | DaveLieber
He’s from North Dallas: Lake Highlands to be precise. But during the past two years of the coronavirus pandemic, he’s walked neighborhoods to keep himself busy and in shape, mentally and physically. “I walked South Dallas, and what you notice is, south of I-30, the amount of trash,” he said. “This would never happen in Lake Highlands or North Dallas. They wouldn’t allow this.”
Erich is worried about a neighborhood a half hour’s drive from his house. So much so that he started making phone calls and writing letters.And there we were, roadside, talking about the problem, when two city code enforcement vehicles – one with flashing lights – pulled up. Erich, of course, had called them.
For good measure, Erich notified the parks and recreation department and the water department. And he alerted The Watchdog. After the city workers left, Erich told me he hopes the cleanup responsibility rests with the golf course. As good citizens, they should want to help, he said. The course is on city land but privately operated.“There’s not a piece of trash anywhere. But this side of the fence has trash all the way down.”
