  H.R. No. 311
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Sara Reidy of the Kessler Park neighborhood in
  Dallas identified a transportation-related issue that was
  negatively impacting the quality of life in her community, and
  through her initiative, steps are being taken to address the
  problem; and
         WHEREAS, Concerned about the noise levels from nearby
  Interstate 30, Ms. Reidy purchased a decibel meter and took
  measurements that showed the volume emanating from the highway was
  exceeding Texas Department of Transportation standards; and
         WHEREAS, This concerned citizen demonstrated outstanding
  leadership by coordinating with state officials and various
  neighborhood groups to provide a thorough presentation regarding
  the problem; her tenacity and ability to bring people together in a
  short period of time allowed for consensus building and cooperation
  in seeking potential solutions to the situation; and
         WHEREAS, Ms. Reidy had no previous public sector experience,
  but her efforts led to the establishment of a Texas Department of
  Transportation pilot program aimed at alleviating the problem; as
  part of that initiative, the Center for Transportation Research,
  working in conjunction with TxDOT, will apply noise-reducing
  materials to Interstate 30 between Sylvan Avenue and Hampton Road
  in Dallas and monitor the results; if the pilot program provides
  acceptable noise reduction, it may provide a valuable new
  alternative that may be applicable to other locations around the
  state; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby commend Sara Reidy for her contributions as a
  community advocate and commend her for the positive change she has
  helped realize by fostering collaboration among her fellow
  citizens; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Ms. Reidy as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
