We Envision...
….More access points to the Rowlett DART station and from Rowlett downtown to the Rowlett Community Centre. Infrastructure improvements, widen lanes for additional access, and ensuring connectivity within the City are considered key factors for transportation. Handicap parking availability at events, activities, and other locations are not as plentiful when needed, therefore an increase in enforcement by our Volunteers in Police Services maybe more helpful for those who need to park closer. Adding dedicated senior transportation vehicles to the City of Rowlett Fleet would be beneficial so more seniors can be involved. As Rowlett’s population continues to grow and seniors become more active there may be a need for a helicopter pad location downtown and at Sapphire Bay to aid with emergency response operations. The hope is these action steps will increase opportunities for social participation and inclusion to help aging adults enjoy life and stay involved in their communities.
