LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Echoes From The Canyon

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023

The Canyon Creek Homeowners Association has had the opportunity to view the site plan for the Jay Dalehite Park and we wholeheartedly approve of the concept and design.

We conducted an unscientific poll here in our piece of paradise aka Canyon Creek. The concept was simple. Pick one word that describes what you value most about our city. The answer that repeated with the repetitiveness and predictability of a metronome was “Neighborhoods.”

Blue Ocean and Trellis are to be commended for their laudable outreach to the Canyon Creek Neighborhood. Their example should set the bar for expectations going forward with future developments affecting not only Canyon Creek but also any other Neighborhood in Richardson.

We are truly honored and blessed that they understand the tireless contributions made to Canyon Creek by the indispensable Jay Dalehite and have used their resources and passion to make a Park part of their development.

We are also thankful for the often unheralded City Staff who have labored to set infrastructure guidelines that will make the Park the proverbial hill on which our shining City rests. When we grasp for evocative imagery to describe and fully embrace the special sense of place that is Richardson, it is the sum of the decisions and work product that goes on behind the scenes that make it so.

The day of its christening will be a day like no other, a moment captured in time like an insect in amber and if anyone has the connections to help summon 76 trombones to celebrate, you probably know how to find us.

In a world of memes and five second video shorts, thank you all for your efforts to establish something enduring and monumental.

Warren Caldwell President
