 When we think of the cultural district a lot of folks tend to think about the museums naturally because we do have several world-class museums we can take a great deal of pride. We have one of the finest collections of museums anywhere in the country and yet the cultural district is more than the museums and more than the Will Rogers Memorial Center, though that's a big attraction now Dickies Arena but we have many growing businesses in and around the cultural district and neighborhoods as well single-family residential neighborhoods surrounding the cultural district large amount of multi-family apartments and condominiums as well. We have a lot of issues that arise from the intersection of tourism on the one hand attracting many visitors from far and wide and those who called the cultural district home and so that requires a lot of negotiation a lot of discussion and compromise one example would be the Arlington Heights neighborhood, which is right across Montgomery Street from the museums and Dickies Arena the tendency that a lot of folks have to want a park for free on neighborhood streets when those streets were not designed for large numbers of visitors and so neighborhood parking permit program was one of the solutions that emerged in response to that issue. A lot of the residential property owners who didn't necessarily live there decided to rent out their houses to the degree that visitors might use those residences as party houses and stay up late at night and make noise and do other un-neighborly things that created an issue as well and so we had to deal with the enforcement of zoning regulations. We want our single-family neighborhoods to to be more peaceful and that's what neighborhood residents expect. We have a neighborhood called Lindwood, which is right in the middle of the cultural district. It was historically a low and moderate-income neighborhood. It was hit by a tornado in the year 2000 and a lot of the older houses were lost and actually created an opportunity to redevelop much of that property and the neighborhood has really changed and that redevelopment itself has brought about a range of issues about traffic, about parking, about density, about affordability. All difficult issues that big cities face. In respect to West Seventh, that's the street that connects downtown directly to the museums and we've seen a great deal of change along West Seventh, truly a transformation. We've seen a lot of interesting adaptive reuse of older historic structures. A good example is Montgomery Plaza which was a Montgomery Ward department store building that was at risk of being demolished. Fortunately, that didn't happen. An area that we sometimes call the West Seventh core area where you have a collection of older warehouse buildings that have been, again, reused adaptively for more active purposes and they also have been a big success. It came about in part because a deed restriction was ruled by the courts to be invalid. It was a restriction that prevented the sale of alcohol. Going back to the 19th century, it made it possible for a lot of folks to move into the district and create what some people call entertainment district. It brings folks together for a variety of activities. They're not for everybody. In fact, for a lot of young folks, the evening is just beginning when older folks are just going to bed. That core area has probably been the side of the most contentious disputes when you mix residences and we do have a large number of people who live there along with businesses of different kinds and bars and the clientele associated with those establishments. You get some volatile combinations. A few years ago, all of these groups came to us and said, please bring us together and help us to find common ground and practical solutions because we want to coexist. Basically, our approach was to collect objective data and rely on the facts before dealing with the emotional and we find that when we collect hard data and analyze it under a bright light, we can see more clearly and can gain a better understanding and move beyond the finger pointing and accusations and the presumptions of about the motivation that others may have. For example, we found that a lot of this activity was occurring late at night and we needed to find ways to control noise and got the cooperation of the bars. They saw that it would be in their interest to operate their businesses in ways that were compatible with residents and in other businesses in the core area. We saw that parking was a problem. It seems that a lot of folks wanted to go there and there weren't enough parking spaces to accommodate everybody who wanted to go there. One of the ideas that emerged was that we regulate parking with the use of parking meters that would provide for more turnover. We saw, for example, that it was difficult for the police to control large crowds when these bars let out at 2 o'clock in the morning. There would be literally hundreds of young people, each of whom may have had one or two or more drinks and their behavior was enough to raise eyebrows and should we have any kind of emergency situations in a police car or a fire truck or an ambulance would need to maneuver through the streets, they would find it very difficult because the streets were totally covered up. So we found that we needed more sidewalk space. So we allocated some capital funds to build sidewalks and it's our job to define solutions to those issues in cooperation with the residents, with the property owners, with the business leaders. One of the resources that we use to define solutions is an organization called the Cultural District Alliance. I happened to serve on the board of representing the city. That organization actually brings together around a common table representatives from all of these parties, from the museums, from the other cultural institutions, from the businesses of different kinds and from the residents. And they get together and they talk through these issues and try to come to consensus and try to speak with one voice. The Cultural District and the West Seventh Village, as we call it, have grown and changed dramatically over the past 20 years or so. Where we have an eclectic mix of arts institutions, world-class museums, rodeo, other sporting events, many different businesses, large-scale institutions like the University of North Texas Health Science Center and a variety of residential living options, all within a walkable environment. It's where Fort Worth lives out. It's a motto about cowboys and culture and we'd like to show it off to visitors whenever we can.
