DART
Chris, who works for the City of Dallas. Apparently, he is no enemy to trouble, he stated I wish the City of Dallas acts upon their great ideas. The problem is these ideas sit and nothing gets done. We have come so far but we have so far to go. I see what DART has done and its fulfilling to see the City actually see an idea not sit on the desk.
