  • A special general meeting of the NSCNA has been called for Tuesday, March 6 at 6:30 – 8:30 PM at the Pillow Elementary School.

    Since our last General Meeting on January 23rd, 2007, the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Board Members have been taking care of your neighborhood business. We need your attendance and participation at a special General Meeting. We want to make sure our neighbors are up to date with the latest information and we need your input so that we may move forward with various important issues.

    First, we need as many people as possible to attend an Open House hosted by Lincoln and Wal-Mart at Northcross Mall on Monday, March 5th between the hours of 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Norris Conference Center (entrance at the south side of Northcross). Architects and Traffic Engineers from the Wal-Mart design team will be present to answer questions and take comments. Project displays of all design aspects will be available for your examination. Take a look at their latest presentation and familiarize yourself with their solutions to neighborhood concerns.

    Second, we need as many dues paying members as possible to attend this special General Meeting on Tuesday, March 6th, 2007 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm in the Pillow Cafeteria. There will be a presentation of some additional information regarding the Northcross Development and its impact on our neighborhood. Members will be allowed to ask questions and make comments. We will be taking a vote for how to proceed into the future with the Northcross issue.

    If you have not paid your 2007 dues ($15 and this allows you to vote) you may pay these that evening. Remember, if you don’t participate, your voice is not heard. We hope that the momentum of our January meeting is still going strong and hope to see all of you there on March 6th!!

  • An Aesthetics Advisory Committee (AAC) is being formed to reflect the identity and values of the community in the project’s aesthetic elements, where possible. The AAC will meet monthly from March through August of 2007 to advise the MoPac 1 project team regarding the aesthetic aspects of various elements of the Loop 1 project, such as noise barriers, retaining walls, plantings, ornamental lighting, and sign structures. The AAC’s input will be collected for the project’s color themes, wall panel design, and landscaping plans. TxDOT will consider the AAC’s input when deciding what actions or recommendations to implement.

    If you or someone you know is interested in participating on this committee, you can nominate yourself from their website located at:

    Mopac 1 Project

    Nomination Form

    The NSCNA board is hoping we have at least one person from our neighborhood join this committee so we can stay well informed on the decisions made by this group. If you are interested and decide to nominate yourself, please let our Beautification Committee Chairperson, Lori Anderson (interiorsbyla @ yahoo dot com) know, so we can help in any way to secure a position on this committee.
