Below is the City’s notice of a development application that would affect property near the proposed project. Here is a link to the Zoning change notice we received. We did not get the map they referred to below.
I grabbed a Google map of the area. It is the wooded area across from the funeral home:
So far this week, we have found 3 syringes on the West side of the property, specifically in the area of West Mountain Creek Drive. One was found near the front of 58, another near 46, and another near the tree at the end of West MC Drive. They did appear to be used, the last one had the plunger out of it, but the needle was still there. Fortunately, all of them were capped, BUT they still pose a bio-hazard. All 3 were gathered up by GPPD and they have patrolled the area a bit more.
Please advise kids not to play with these things; call the non-emergency number (972-237-8790) if you find a syringe on property, please.

“Am I witnessing a crime?” Most of us have found ourselves wondering this at some point or another. However, because we’re not really sure, we tend to ignore what we have just seen and, hoping it wasn’t so, we continue about our business.
People aren’t suspicious, behavior is! Always consider the context for what you are witnessing and remember there may be a simple explanation for activity that at first glance appears suspicious. Here are behaviors that may be associated with criminal activity:
– Someone walking down the street looking into multiple vehicles and/or trying door handles to see if the doors will open.
– Someone taking a package from someone else’s property (keep in mind that sometimes neighbors leave or pick up packages for other neighbors).
-A person who is not your neighbor walking about your neighbor’s home and looking into windows, or trying to gain access by forcing open a window or door.
– A person knocking on your door and asking to speak with someone who does not live there and who may also go to other homes knocking on doors. This is a tactic used by people with the intent to burglarize to see if people are home. (Keep in mind that people may mistakenly go to the wrong home.)
– Someone claiming to represent a utility company who is either not wearing a uniform, does not produce identification upon request, or does not have a company logo vehicle.
– Someone using binoculars or other devices to peer into your or your neighbors’ homes.
– At night, a person sitting inside a vehicle that you do not recognize with the lights off for extended period of time.
– A pushy salesperson not producing identification upon your request or asking to come into your home.
– A vehicle you do not recognize that is circling multiple times around the neighborhood.
Remember, if you think that a crime may be occurring, or that the safety of you or your neighbors may be at risk, don’t hesitate to call 911. Your call could be the one that lets us put a stop to the break-ins or a crime streak in your neighborhood. We are happy to check things out!

Wait – Wait for the gate to rise
Evacuate – Continue driving away from the floodwater
The gate will open for you, and close back again once you have passed through. For more information about the Carrier Parkway low water crossing gates, call 972-237-8321 or email sgriffin@gptx.org.
