There are numerous families who live outside of the city limits that would find it just as beneficial to have access to a free public library without having to pay a yearly fee. Instead of requiring each person/child who wants a library card that lives outside the city limits but yet has Texarkana, TX on their drivers license and address labels to pay yearly fee of $20 right then, ask for donations. I would love to be able to check out books for my son and me, but I either cannot remember to pay that yearly fee or just don't have the money at the time. Why should I be punished for living too far away from a public library, the only one in 50 miles. If public schools that are not within Texarkana city limits are part of Texarkana ISD, then why can't people who live outside of Texarkana city limits be able to get a library card too. Just a thought that could turn into more. You never know.

Please put in a light at the intersection of Galleria Oaks and Richmond Rd. I and my coworkers have almost had wrecks there. People literally try to run over you there. I work in the Max Alley Business behind the Sanctuary and it's very hard to get turned in there at times. People wanting to turn the other way start getting in the turning lane on your side making you have to get in the other lane and risk getting hit. Please we beg you to do this. Thank you.

I think the city of Texarkana should put sidewalks on residential streets to encourage more outdoor exercise. I believe it's not safe to jog or walk on the streets. I also see children walking to school in the streets because there are no sidewalks. I don't know of another city the size of Texarkana that does not have sidewalks.

Sidewalks not only provide ease of access, but also accessible paths for people who use power wheelchairs. Most people are not aware that to travel on a city street in a power wheelchair voids most warranties. Adding sidewalks that lead to critical areas of the city (i.e. medical office, rehab centers, grocery stores, etc.) would greatly reduce this problem and increase overall safety.
