STOP THE TRAIN STATION AT HWY 26 AND JOHN MCCAIN ROAD

We, as citizens of Colleyville, are extremely concerned about the proposed train station at Hwy 26 and John McCain due to the increase in Crime, Taxes, Traffic, Pollution, and Noise and the decrease in property values that will likely result.  
Inner city gangs and criminals would have easy access to our neighborhoods at our expense.

By the T's own studies, very few Colleyville residents will ride the train. Our tax money will pay for something primarily used by people from surrounding cities. Colleyville citizens who want to take the train can drive 4 miles north to the Grapevine train station or go to the N. Richland Hills station.
The Colleyville train station will produce NO REVENUE. It will be an ongoing expense of an estimated $1.4 million per year to Colleyville taxpayers. This is more than Colleyville plans to spend on roads. The T also expects Colleyville taxpayers to provide bus service for surrounding cities.
There is already talk of widening of our city streets to handle the increased traffic. This will result in loss of trees, shade and natural beauty. The small trees that are planted can take 30 years to produce the canopy that our mature trees provided.
There is also talk of building apartments on Hwy 26 at John McCain to boost ridership on the train. We do not need this at an already congested intersection. Apartments have never been allowed in Colleyville and many citizens still do not want them in our city.
Time is running out. The train station is going to happen if citizens do not voice their opposition. This will impact our quality of life for years to come. 
Please sign this petition and contact our city council members. 
Acting now will help keep our city safe, beautiful and help prevent property tax increases.
