Mountain Creek Area Alert: Redistricting Changes


A Mountain Creek Area Neighborhood
 A message from Councilman Griggs,

Our Dallas City Council is taking up the important topic of redistricting.  Every ten years we redraw our council districts and this Saturday is your opportunity to tell the full Dallas City Council what you think:

Saturday, September 24, 2011
3pm - 6pm
Dallas City Hall
1500 Marilla Street

I hope to see you there.  This is one of the most important meetings you can attend.  Please see the maps that will be discussed at:


Please join me in supporting the Jasso Griggs Amendments to Plan 16, which keep our Oak Cliff in TWO council districts and maintain the historic connection between Mountain Creek/The Woods and North Oak Cliff.  Other plans threaten to break Oak Cliff into FOUR council districts and divide our community west of I-35.  This is an important meeting!  And YOU will have a chance to be heard!

Welcome to your new blog ...


Welcome to the Mountain Creek Neighborhood Alliance blog.  The purpose of the Alliance and this blog is to help residents of the Mountain Creek area of Dallas share information about subjects that could affect Mountain Creek Neighborhoods and the City of Dallas ... either positively or negatively.  Informed neighbors make for a better community! 

The 2 current issues of concern for our neighborhoods are Redistricting for City Council Elections and the pending Gas Well Drilling sites at Camp Wisdom/FM 1382 and at Hensley Field.  The Hensley Field site will be the first gas drilling application to come up for a vote at the Dallas City Council in October, 2011.  The outcome of the Hensley Field application will determine the outcome of future gas drilling applications in the City of Dallas.

Here is your opportunity for citizen input on gas well drilling in your neighborhood:
