It is obvious that the City of Dallas and
its surrounding suburbs lack an efficient public transit system;
transportation in Dallas is ineffective and impractical without the use
of an automobile. Given the high number of commuters that travel in and
out of the city every day, it is clear that Dallas must incorporate a
better public transit system in order to become a more sustainable city.
On
September 24, we, the residents of Dallas, will gather at the DART Rail
Forest Lane station and sign a petition to government demanding better
and more sustainable public transportation. We will ride the DART train
towards the Shops at Park Lane plaza (in a "flash mob") and gather in
the famous "350 formation" (http://earth.350.org/big-pictures/)
so a photograph can be taken from a top story floor. From there, we
will ride on the DART rail to Texas Discovery Gardens (Fair Park),
where the Dallas Green Festival will be held. At the park, we will host a
speaker to communicate the importance of sustainable transportation.
