@littlbooze @DallasAptGP It won't. And that should've never been the plan to begin with.

@J__Perc @dallasmavs I believe Cuban owns the practice facility land, not the Mavs/Adelsons.

@DallasAptGP @BizJewish Main difference between WOCAP and Oak Cliff Gateway is that WOCAP is mostly downzoning.

"It feels as if we have reached what I might deem 'Peak Deck Park' as infrastructure projects ... are widely hoped to change the urban landscape of our city. We ... reflexively call on these interventions as primary levers to elevate the quality of life." https://t.co/ANtf2VvLM0

What do you think about the new Trinity Groves?
#dallasoldandnew

[Dallas Old + New @DallasOldAndNew]

Plans for a massive redevelopment of Trinity Groves were unveiled at the Urban Design Peer Review Panel on Friday. Highlights include:

15 new residential buildings containing over 5,000 homes, 3 hotels, and numerous office buildings. (1/N)

[Dallas Old + New @DallasOldAndNew]

The two parcels closest to the MHH Bridge would be developed into offices and a hotel. The plans unfortunately show a skybridge across Singleton from the hotel to the new office building. Skybridges hinder urban environments by removing people from the street.

early 2020s - anti-urban mayors elected as property values rise (whitmire, johnson, watson), harmful freeway rebuild projects started, bike lanes removed, transit funds redirected

future is bleak

[Dallas Old + New @DallasOldAndNew]

history of texas urbanism

1970s-90s - mayors destroy cores to support their personal real estate holdings (lanier, folsom)
2000s - urban neighborhoods (not CBDs) bottom out and surviving residents promote urbanist ideals and make political impact (annise parker, scott griggs)

[Dallas Old + New @DallasOldAndNew]

2010s - multi-family building boom (uptown, east dallas, montrose), bike lanes and bike share programs proliferate, younger gen x, elder milennials who grew up in plano and sugarland move into urban core, light rail systems built out
2020 - covid halts all urbanism momentum
