Some South Dallas residents are hoping a warehouse developer will change their plans to put a distribution center in their community.
Along Wheatland Road in south Oak Cliff sits Friendship-West church, David W. Carter High School and houses.
"Most of the people in my neighborhood are senior citizens that are right there in that area,” longtime resident Lovey Hawkins said. “We have a hard enough time trying to get out on Wheatland Road as it is. You are talking about 18-wheelers and a warehouse? No. No way." District 8 City Planning Commissioner Lorie Blair, who also lives nearby, said zoning of the area does allow a warehouse. Still, she opposes it because of the impact she fears it could have on the community and nearby hospital.
