COLLEYVILLE MEDIAN ISSUE PROMPTS SOME
COUNCIL MEMBERS TO SHIFT BLAME

The median issue in Colleyville made it back on the council agenda on October 2, 2001.  It’s been there several times before, but not everyone noticed it.  Perhaps that’s part of the reason why some current council members are now scrambling to place the blame for them on their predecessors.  Mayor Arp initially professed little knowledge of the history of the medians, alternately blaming it on the developer of The Village at Colleyville, Richard Myers of Realty Capital, and the Texas Department of Transportation.  After State Representative Vicki Truitt stepped in, a second search of city records eventually turned up some new documentation previously overlooked.
