We, the residents and supporters of the Liberty Crossing community, respectfully oppose the proposed construction of a 7-Eleven convenience store directly in front of our neighborhood.



This location is not appropriate for another 7-Eleven, and the decision to move forward without meaningful community engagement raises serious concerns.



Key Concerns

1. Oversaturation of 7-Eleven Locations

There is already a 7-Eleven within 0.3 miles of the proposed site—clearly visible from the location itself. In addition, another 7-Eleven is being developed just 0.9 miles away.



This concentration is excessive and unnecessary for our area.



2. Proven Negative Impact on Nearby Communities

The existing 7-Eleven at Highway 156 and Blue Mound Road has consistently been a poor neighbor, with ongoing issues related to cleanliness, maintenance, and overall appearance.



Residents are concerned this new location will bring the same problems closer to our homes.



3. Failed Locations Raise Concerns

A recently opened 7-Eleven at Blue Mound Road and Western Center closed in less than a year. This raises questions about the long-term viability of yet another location in such close proximity.



4. Lack of Community Engagement

Efforts were made to open a dialogue with 7-Eleven regarding reasonable modifications—such as improved lighting design, traffic flow adjustments, and layout considerations—to better fit the neighborhood.



These concerns were dismissed, and no meaningful collaboration was offered.



5. Quality of Life Impacts

Residents are concerned about increased traffic, excessive lighting, noise, and potential litter, all of which directly affect the safety, comfort, and character of our neighborhood.



Our Request

We respectfully ask city officials and decision-makers to:



Reevaluate the approval of this location

Consider the clear overconcentration of similar businesses in the area



Prioritize developments that align with the needs and character of the Liberty Crossing community



Encourage businesses that are willing to engage with and support the neighborhoods they serve

Liberty Crossing deserves thoughtful development, not unchecked expansion.



By signing below, we stand together in asking for a better plan for our community.

We need more signs. The contractor currently has only a grading and now a tank permit. As of Friday, No building permit has been applied for. Stay vigilant. Your home value and peace depend on it

We have enough wrecks, vandalism and random cars cruising through the neighborhood as it is! Opening this 7-eleven will just cause more unnecessary chaos that our neighborhood does not deserve! We have enough 7-elevens in the area!

This area does not need another 7-11 when there are 3 within a 1.5 mile radius with the closest one a quarter mile down the road, there is a 7-11 that sits empty on the corner of FM 156 and western center that has been closed down for about 2 years now.

I say NO to this 7 eleven. Not a family friendly environment to have a gas station 20 feet directly behind our community homes The property values will drop significantly. And may not be even marketable. I’m guessing the properties directly adjacent will drop more than 100,000 if this gas station is built

Not to mention the new high school going in just down the street. This will become a traffic nightmare and dangerous to the families in our community.

The 7-11 at 9944 Blue Mound Rd is already a public nuisance with trash blowing from it to adjacent property. Until 7-Eleven can demonstrate they can be a good neighbor there should be a moratorium on construction projects that destroy neighborhoods.

I attended the 3/31 Fort Worth City Council Meeting. We need the signs to continue. More signatures are being added as of yesterday. The Mayors office response is “ be patient”. Thank you.
