Details Emerge On Delay Of Bush Security Gate

DALLAS (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ―

There is new information about former president George W. Bush's Dallas neighborhood. The entrance gate that Mr. and Mrs. Bush have offered to install has been delayed for months. Now CBS 11 News has learned some details on the cause of that delay.

Former president Bush, former first lady Laura Bush, and most neighbors in the Preston Hollow edition hoped to have a gate installed at Daria Drive and Meaders this past March.

But as of July 8, the Bushes and their representatives haven't submitted plans for the gate to the City of Dallas for review and approval.

CBS 11 News has learned that one homeowner in the neighborhood still has concerns about the gate.

While the Bushes have agreed to pay for installation, it would be up to a newly created neighborhood association to pay for gate upkeep. Details are still being ironed out, but each homeowner on Daria Place and Daria Drive could have to pay between $500 and $750 a year to be in the association. So far, not everyone has agreed to join that association.

CBS 11 News was the first to report Tuesday night, that the Dallas Police Department removed three SWAT Team officers who were assigned to help the Secret Service. The move was made in an effort to save the cash-struggled city $300,000 a year.

3. With all the neighborhoods in the Dallas area that have security gates,

THEY had to pick on that didn't? I don't understand! I've lived in 5 different states, and ANY neighborhood that has homes valued near or above $1 million already HAD top security gates as an initial part of the neighborhood plan! Hell, my BIL lived in a manned secured community in VA. and his house was only $250,000!

If this gate is only for a hand full of people o 2 or 3 streets, and had to be installed because of Shrub moving there, HE should pay for the gate & the upkeep!

6. Totally agree.

If this gate is only for a hand full of people o 2 or 3 streets, and had to be installed because of Shrub moving there, HE should pay for the gate & the upkeep!

4. He wanted to build a fucking fence to separate the US from Mexico and he can't even install a gate?

5. Make the fuckers live on their pig farm.

Why should a neighborhood (rich or not) have to put up with this shit?
