Like something from a ‘night club.’ Weary neighbors want TCU, city to crack down on parties​

Story by Harrison Mantas

Janet Williamson has been dealing with off-campus parties around TCU for the past decade.

Williamson, the former head of the Westcliff neighborhood association, got involved after coming home in 2015 only to be confronted with loud noise and vibrating bass from a nearby house party.

Williamson said things got better after the city of Fort Worth created its Neighbor-to-Neighbor program, which brought the university and residents together to resolve issues around trash and noise related to parties.

However, the problem still exists, and neighbors like Williamson say the university isn’t doing enough. A Super Bowl party in February brought roughly 200 students to the neighborhood, clogging streets with traffic and filling the neighborhood with noise.

The return of the Acre (or half) ?

Sounds like they’re jealous they didn’t get an invite…

I know this woman and have heard her stories at the same meetings. Her situation is futile. Westcliff, as a neighborhood has not protected itself through zoning and is now in a reactive mode versus a proactive mode. Party houses seem to be passed down from one class to the next. It's time to move on to find peace......

Person who knew this was near a college campus lives in neighborhood near college campus and is shocked to find out that college students have parties.

It's amazing to me that Undergrad enrollment is now 11k.

Right up there with "guy who lives on a golf course mad that there's golf balls in his yard".

If you could just learn to get rid of that slice!!!

I know how to get rid of a slice: Aim to the far left to compensate. That's when I hit them the straightest!

Living next to a university involves certain quality of life issues. Some of them are good like walking to work or events on campus. Some of them are bad like traffic and parties. Unfortunately, some people don’t think about that stuff when they buy property near a university. They also have no say so if TCU decides to grow the enrollment.

Contrary to what they think, it is not TCU’s responsibility to control parties off campus. Fort Worth PD has that responsibility. Fort Worth PD probably should care more about that stuff than writing speeding tickets on a freeway that has too low of a speed limit.

Okay, lead-foot...

Let's say you were there before the golf course (or the doubling of TCUs enrollment). Aithough you have more to contend with, you have property values that will go up substantially since you now live in a highly sought after (or improved) property. At some point you should take your windfall and build a mansion in the mid [ Finebaum ]ties...

It’s not my fault that the freeway speed limits are set ridiculously low so the city can make a bunch of money on tickets. Interstate 30 east of Hulen Street along with Chisholm Trail Parkway is one big speed trap.

Do you get a bulk discount?

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.

Take a trip on 121, after 4pm sometime during the week in the Frisco/Allen area. That's one of the wildest things I've seen.
