the city just confirmed they are dropping the trail plans and keeping the woodlands exactly as they are. i am still kind of shocked but so happy that we kept this place wild for the animals. lets just keep enjoying the woods as they were meant to be and stay …

The east side of Flag Pole Hill is made up of natural prairie and extremely dense, natural woodlands. There is an existing footpath, worn over many years from horseriders, bikers, walkers. The City of Dallas plans to enhance this path with soft-soil grooming that will make "official" what is today a light footpath that is barely used by anyone (in comparison to other trails in the area). The City has also entertained proposals that would extend the trails into the nearby woods.
It is the position of this petition that the city leave everything alone.
This area is home to grassland quail, bobcats, coyotes, owls, woodpeckers and all kinds of other wildlife. If trails are allowed to be cut through this area, these species will seek life elsewhere. Humans walking and riding around may pressure these species!
"But people can walk and ride in that area already! It's a public park." That's true, but the natural environment impedes the traffic. The trail gets overgrown and there's poison ivy. Anyone can walk or ride back there today. But that doesn't mean the City of Dallas has to encourage it. That YOU have to encourage it.
This petition thinks there is a majority of Dallas County citizens who want the wild left that way in that tiny slice of leftover Blackland Praire. That is our park. Your park.
Help us tell the City of Dallas to leave it alone! There are plenty of trails already in the White Rock Area!
Read on to understand how the petition will be used:
This petition will be forwarded to the Dallas Parks and Recreation staff as a show of opposition for this trails expansion. In addition, I will ensure that this petition of opposition is shared with the White Rock Valley Neighborhood Association, the White Rock Lake Task Force, our newly elected district 9 councilman Mark Clayton, our district 10 run-off winner (McGough or Reyes) and Gerry Worrall and Robin Norcross, district 9 and 10 members, respectively, of the Dallas Parks Board.
If you are tired of the encroachment of human beings on every inch of natural habitat in the White Rock Area.....If you like the animals (bobcats, foxes, coyotes, owls, woodpeckers) in our neighborhood that would be scared away by more humans thundering through THEIR neighborhood....then lend your support.

43 year resident on Shoreview behind park. Do not touch anything in the park. That is the only natural sound barrier between us and Northwest Hwy. Any clearing, no matter how minimal one claims, will affect that.
yes please leave the trail alone - there was a wonderful wild area by White Rock Lake dam with trails and trees and the city brought in huge boulder rocks and filled it all in ruining the natural landscape and hidden wild area so sad
Please leave the East side of Flag Pole Hill alone. As a cyclist, I have ridden many laps up the road to the top of Flagpole Hill. What purpose would a trail on the East side serve? That stand of trees is a nice buffer from Northwest Hwy, and there are already plenty of trails in the area.
I just moved my horse to that area specifically for the wonderful and natural trails available. This particular trail area is my go-to trail because it works exactly for the time frame I have after work. I will be devastated if this is no longer available.
If you're going to build a path, please follow the one that we've already carved out. Don't disrupt the only remaining natural habitat some of these creatures have. Minimally invasive is still invasive.
According to the New York Post’s story, Hunter Biden in 2015 introduced his Father, then VP in the Obama Administration, to a Top Exec Vadym Pozharskyi at Ukrainian Burisma Holdings Ltd after Hunter joined the company’s board which was Paying him up to $83,000 a Month. The insinuation is that Hunter Successfully Influenced his Father to Pressure Ukraine Government officials “into Firing the Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was Investigating Corruption against Burisma. Facebook and Twitter took action to limit distribution (censored) the New York Post story citing Emails purportedly Revealing Evidence of Influence-Peddling by Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden. The Emails were obtained from a Laptop which had a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, and had been Abandoned at Computer-Repair Shop, named “The Mac Shop” in Wilmington, Delaware and owned by John Paul Mac Isaac, who then reported the laptop’s contents to authorities which determined that the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity. Joe Biden and his family engaged in "Legal Corruption" despite claims of no wrongdoing and the Liberal Main Stream Media Refuses to Talk and will never Report about Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails, fearing Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden will Lose the 2020 Election if this information is exposed to the American People. This is evidence that Joe Biden participated in his Family’s CASH-for-Influence Scheme with Shady Foreign Companies. The American People should be demanding that the Media investigate this scandal before they VOTE, but we know, the Media will never report on Hunter Biden’s emails because it would be harmful to Joe Biden.
Please leave this accessible, yet minimally developed, area with its natural beauty and wildlife for all of us to enjoy.
