Madam Secretary, Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is
Errol Summerlin and I live in Portland. I am a member of the
Citizens Alliance for Fairness and Progress, a group that was
formed in January 2015 to oppose the discriminatory actions
being taken against the residents of the Hillcrest and
Washington and Coles neighborhoods.
The Planning Commission and City staff are spot on in their
decision and recommendation to deny the zoning change and
yet, seven of you have snubbed that notion, that the vision for
Hillcrest, the Washington and Coles neighborhoods can play a
part in the revitalization of the area; that the Downtown
Development Plan should somehow avoid these
neighborhoods; they are disconnected from the future of re-
vitalization.
That's been the problem since the early years of this City's
foundation...from the early days of segregating the African
American residents to the Washington and Coles
neighborhoods to the city's acquiescence to allow them to
move to Hillcrest, then the follow-up of neglect and disregard
for all those who lived there for decades.
The Decree in the Title VI Civil Rights Complaint against the new
Harbor Bridge project confirmed and re-stated the historic
institutional discrimination against these neighborhoods and
demanded a re-assessment of values.
From that, came a vision for the future that would recognize
and embrace the cultural and historic significance of the area.
You should all take some time to learn more because it is
evident from last week's discussion, you just don't get it.
Few, if any of you, have ever spoken to long time residents of
these neighborhoods. Do you even know who Reverend Grant
was? Have you spoken to Reverend Henry Williams? Have you
spoken to anyone at the ......church.
Your eyes would be opened to what you never saw or cared to
pay attention to.
Mayor Guajardo understands and so does Councilman Lerma.
But I see reflections of the past when I heard the rest of the
Council discuss this on February 23rd. Last year, when this was
brought to the former Council, the Council deferred to Everett
Roy and denied the Permit; not so now with Councilman Lerma.
Councilman Hernandez suggests that the City staff revisit the
plans for Washington and Coles and even throws in Hillcrest
too, presumably to rethink the future of the neighborhood that
the citizens of Corpus Christi worked for 2 and a half years
developing and disregard the agreements set forth in the Civil
Rights Complaint.
Some of you are making a big deal about the wastewater
treatment plant being nearby. I will remind you that there was
another Title VI Civil Rights Complaint filed against the City over
that facility. Perhaps you should go back and look at the plans
for that facility that were agreed to in the 2008 Consent Decree
in settlement of that Complaint. The landscaping requirements
that included a wall, trees, and green space were intentionally
designed to enhance the visuals of the plant for future
improvements in the area.
Granting this Special Permit is continued evidence of
institutional discrimination against these neighborhoods; you
don't think about what you do, but the signal and disparate
treatment is clear to whom it matters.
And for what, a little tax revenue...to provide some lighting and
your perceived notion that increasing industrial activity will
make the neighbor hood safer?
Rubbish.
If you let one in, others will clamor to do the same and you will
find yourself on a irreversible path to continued degradation of
the area making it impossible to achieve the vision in Plan CC
that so many worked for. This action is simply a reflection in
the mirror of past Councils.
I ask that you deny the Special Permit approved during First
Reading. Thank you.

Topic Safe Bike Paths with Physical separation from Road
ways and Pedestrian ways-Rezoning Property at or
near 7601 Yorktown Boulevard
Agenda Number 21-0055
Describe Feedback: Since this area will be for families,there must be
safe bicycle paths with physical separation from
pedestrian ways and road ways. Fences, poles,
boulders or even concrete islands have been used
to keep cyclists safe. Painting a line on the road is
not enough.
Would you feel safe riding your bike like that?
Would you encourage your children to ride on the
road like that?
Also,we have seen on streets like Brockhampton
that paint on the road is used as parking spots
making it more unsafe for cyclists.
Every garage has a bike in it for children.There is a
clear demand for cycling but no consideration in city
planning. If you truly want to develop this area for
families,then safe bike paths with physical
separation from the roads are a must.
Attached is a full bike rack at Kaffie Middle school
that shows cycling demand. Also, I provided
examples of ideal bike paths with their dimensions.
Helmets are not enough protection from a vehicle
collision.
