- Good afternoon Fowler Family!
- COVID UPDATE:
- As of 2:00 pm November 2, 2020, Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) added an additional 1517 positive casesof COVID-19 in Dallas County for a cumulative total of 97,875 confirmed cases including 1,119 confirmed deaths.
- These cases did not happen in one day – a large network of outpatient clinics has just begun comprehensive electronic reporting of their antigen testing results to DCHHS. Of the probable cases being reported today, about 80% are from these clinics, representing recent positive antigen test results of Dallas residents from 10/13/20 through 10/29/20
- Only 477 of the new cases are truly considered ‘new cases’
- Fowler Updates: The Story of Recovery Continues
- All residents currently at Fowler in Worth Neighborhood were tested again and all are negative
- We are currently working on the safe return of the residents who have been at Christian Care
- We are blessed and we are so very grateful that we have a story of recovery to share
- Parks Department Survey:
- The Parks Department is conducting a survey regarding proposed updates to the piece of land referred to as the “Trailhead”
- The trail head is on the Santa Fe Trail just north of us
- In the renovation of another park, the city will have an excess amount of dirt that can be used to fill in a gully on the Trailhead, potentially improving the utilization of the land
- There is an online survey which can be accessed here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=OPAwn9upQUxA9e7UfCw_2Fkg_3D_3D
- They specifically want feedback from Fowler residents and will also make paper surveys available. When we receive the surveys they will be distributed to you and must be returned by Thursday 11/12.
- One specific item of clarification:
- There is social media chatter that the dirt the city plans to use to fill in the trailhead is contaminated
- The park board has been very clear – this is a false statement.
- If the Parks Department ever decides to use repurposed soil in any of its projects, that soil is thoroughly tested prior to use. That is just one of the basic steps in the process.
- Known contaminated dirt would not be moved to another location
- If the Park Board receive a 50%+ consensus in favor of some type of improvements, from the community, we will move forward with a task force and begin looking at development plans. That will be a long process with a lot of community input and it will take many months
- Today is Election Day:
