Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

Finally! the area surrounding the convention center will start catering to tourists.

The heat island deal, pedestrian experience deal.... is this thoroughfare and streetscape renovation coming with thick tree planting? I should know what's planned, but don't. By this point in time, ensuring the streets and sidewalks are shaded should be a mandate in all street/sidewalk renovation or...

...also in the video, I noticed almost all of the animated people are white.

Newpark sounds better than Smart District

This side if the CBD is going to end being the best part of downtown to live in.

^that should our next list - parking garages as the final product but were touted/promised/exempted with 'structure' above!

They're all over downtown.

It kinda seems like there's more stuff announced or 'in planning stage' for greater downtown Dallas than any other time since the turn of the century. Even Collin county is more active than ever before. Is that about right?

Tesla?

Primarily because the view is so good, if there is ever a people mover from the airport to the train station, it needs to be elevated.

Did you ever go there Hannibal? That place had the best spinach enchiladas and margaritas. I've got some nice stories from inside that place!

The two themed buildings seem to be turning into a thing... party on the bottom, business on the top. Isn't there one in Plano/Frisco on tap?

WAIT --- is this going where Sol's Taco Lounge used to be?

That's my favorite part of Houston

Copied from Austin55 at The Fort Worth Forum: http://www.fortwortharchitecture.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7049&hl= DCTA was awarded $600k for TOD planning along this corridor by the FTA. Here's a few more details on the line from the DCTA agenda packet, https://www.transit.dot.gov/grants/gran...

Maybe they are prepping several stores sites, and will start them around the same time; when the stores sites are secured, they will build warehouse space to serve the new retail square footage. Don't they work that way much of the time?

The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy

The fear of crowded places with a higher infection potential is temporary, for sure; if we get into a situation of novel viral pandemics rolling across a decade or two, then population density will flatten.... In the mean time, this is a perfect opportunity for Dallas to work on pedestrian infrastru...

There really should be a nice hotel in this neighborhood by now; at least within the next few years we should expect something 4 star-ish. Maybe even two or three hotels... one would likely be part of a massive redevelopment on Fitzhugh replacing the hold-out gay caves that found a home during the c...

...hasn't that demographic trend happened in every big population center, especially in those population centers leading the social and cultural trends of the country?

Thanks Tucy

Almost all will not have the option of participating in the New $outh Dallas. Unless the city comes up with a thoughtful, managed gentrification plan, the poor will simply be pushed away. I still expect some of the region's most exclusive estates to straddle the escarpment in South Dallas County. Th...

Redlining in metro Atlanta corralled poor minorities in the southern part of the area, similar as we see in Dallas. In Atlanta now, though, what's happening in many large swaths of real estate sequestered by the racist lending practices of the past sees very expensive neighborhoods going up. It's no...

^hahaha the typos and mission statement about prestigious living... for some reason I was just reminded of a thread on the old forum...

Does anyone else remember the Turtle Creek luxury report?

!!! Gentlemen's Clubs !!!

Gentlemen's clubs!

I think the state is being derelict by not putting a billion dollars into the second downtown route.

I hope the fossil fuel economy stays down, continues to diminish. Fracking is an perverse practice, whoring the environment for a quick fix. We should be weening ourselves such an unhealthful source of energy.

I wonder if a move to Houston is getting some thought, too.

It's good to change restauranturs every so often.

I'll give them credit for getting victory started.

Thanks Tucy!

Southwest Georgia was caught off guard, secure in mind and body that the virus would eventually but slowly make it's way to the middle of nowhere; also pretty sure that the virus at its worse was a bad flu. They didn't think it would happen there, but it did. Anyway, the impact of a virus pandemic o...

If the uber bonus highrise gets started and then is abandoned half way up, wouldn't that put a little edge back into Deep Ellum?

Good time for the city to revise regulations imposed on deep ellum.

Maybe more of the old tollroad stalwarts will resign and we can get on with a wilderness park. Building overlooks that enhance adjacent properties is fine with me; graft will always be a problem but no matter what happens between the levees, river bottom adjacent private properties need to be develo...

I work at a food bank serving 60-70 families a day. Usually, more than half of the food we give out has been donated by several local grocery stores as they rotate meat, produce, bakery product and some dry goods. This week our deliveries have been about a third of what's typical. Hopefully the pani...

^interesting

It's about time! Since they spend so much time in Austin, maybe state decision makers will make history with an epiphany that funds and incorporates regional mass transit in the incessant planning of highways.

I'll be surprised if ATT doesn't open theaters across the country. Having venues to showcase the subscription streaming content is excellent brand extension.

Making Discovery District a place for red carpet events is ideal.

By the time it's open, the two population centers will have grown by a combined one million residents. by the time the train is up and running, it will be time to double the service. Is there any hope the I-35 redo through Austin will give some room for HSR?

Meacham in fort Worth is making a run at becoming a commercial airport right now...

I voted in that unscientific poll five time, from five different computers.

Sorry to all the folks who want Lower Greenville and the rest of East Dallas to exist in a vacuum, but change is the nature of the area. Transportation corridors between the single family home neighborhoods are ideal for much higher density residential development; that's the way of the world and th...

^is there any reason hobo's identified corridor cannot become an trail extension flanked by Nature and Science?

^that lot is not big enough. The Hunts need to get with the Perots and plan for a better facility, world class. A lawn is definitely needed for running children, picnics, outdoor displays and more starchitecture. I'd like to see a giant, visually stunning, living science installation that cleans the...

Any plan that doesn't at least allow for doubling the Nature and Science Museum would be a mistake in my opinion.
