Lubbock Animal Shelter - the southeast loop

I did a survey this week for the new animal shelter (an adoption center) for the City of Lubbock.


Pretty easy - small area, took about 2 hours. But it was not pretty. They have decided to go with this chunk of land that is away from any kind of traffic except people zooming by on the loop. There is no easy access to the area and it is desolate. This is going to be a place where people come to adopt animals . . .why would they choose such a remote place? If you read my posts regularly you will remember I did another location for the animal shelter and in that area they destroyed historic structures in order to get the project approved only to find out they did not have the right to use that property for anything other than a park. Destruction for nothing! It is aggravating to see the impact of the city councils' poor decision making skills.
