Meeting Mayor Eric Johnson and Representing Envision Dallas at City Hall

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is advocating for the city to create a new advisory group that focuses on issues facing residents with disabilities. The proposed group is tentatively called the “commission on disabilities.” I’ve heard of this type of team in other major Texas cities, but this group would be the first of its kind in Dallas.

As people with disabilities, we would get to make recommendations to city leaders on the best ways to improve access to housing, transportation, jobs, parks, and other amenities. I was proud to represent Envision Dallas at the recent press conference in the 6th floor flag room at Dallas City Hall. I know how important it is to help increase awareness of the abilities of people who are blind and visually impaired. Mayor Johnson will soon join me for a tour at Envision. The City of Dallas needs to know how important Envision Dallas is to the City. Thank you Mayor for staying positive and counting on my support for productive improvements.
