What Is Happening Behind Central Fairfield Improvement Discussions Behind Closed Doors?
We can only guess. Comments in this and linked blogs postulate based on available facts and rumors.
Is Fairfield Economic Segregation Behind The Central Fairfield Improvement Discussions?
• The Solano Transportation (STA) lacked data on foot traffic and bikes for
the area in which sidewalks were going to be placed at huge expense. The
sidewalk along the northern part of West Texas Street by the transportation
center was taking huge funds while existing sidewalks that are falling apart are
neglected.
• It’s claimed there’s no money going to put up
the missing street lights. But there's money for laying out sidewalks for where people are hardly walking?
• Tax payers already paid for countless plans and meetings. Fix Fairfield has limited copies of what the city was willing to share if they claim to have lost the plans.
Members from the Solano Transportation (STA) brainstorm group were friendly but stated their hands were tied. At least the The Solano Transportation (STA) was allowed to offer these meetings on some scale.

These links were mentioned at the meeting but those
Fix Fairfield wanted to check out the info were not seen writing down the web
site names.
Members Were Suggested To Google:
• 1: “West Texas Street promise”
• 2: “Dog pony show” and “Harry Price”
Inquiries to STA about the West Texas Street promise
were directed to other Solano and Fairfield organizations. But Fix Fairfield
said those inquiries were made since 1999. A West Texas Street property owner
said that requested information has been denied year after year. No clear
response was made by STA to these allegations as the committee perhaps had
their hands tied.
