Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

^I thought they just have some sort of 'first dibs' on the whole block...?

I think DART has an existing shaft from this corner to the subway station.... if this proposal does not organize the finishing of the subway station access, I want to be against the whole deal.

^thanks

Is there a solid reason why D2 wasn't proposed to spout from Union Station? why has it always started at Victory Park?

The swaths, patches, clumps of dense urban living will be lessened and disjointed without a regional binding plan establishing growth barriers and managed wilderness areas infused into the population center.

Probably, a lot of Fort Worth growth falls under the suburban umbrella, rather than 'major city' urban density growth... or whatever terms we're using now-a-days. There's no reason to expect suburban growth will stop, and it's not as bad or unsustainable as some may paint it. Hopefully, though, &quo...

So nice to see the city population make such a big increase, maybe the ~decade long urban growth planning and subsequent ~half decade long implementation have settled the foundation for significant urban habitat improvements and growing quality and variety of life. The fantastic domestic appeal and ...

I like that so much better than the twin tower deal floated for Harwood a while back....

That was a fleeting mention, and I don't remember at all the brand or if a general location had been mentioned, but I do remember it. Also remember wondering if this hotel would have been anywhere near Wonderview (haha Mark Cuban 2010).... but I'm not feeling a hotel on the east side of the River, m...

The current three options are new(ish), only coming around in the last year or so, since the big dust-up about financing D2 and The Cotton Belt. Before that, there were six to eight options... a new Convention Center stop, Farmer's Market. These plans studied for a couple years, put in hibernation f...

^sounds like a refreshing change. is it?

gotta be Commerce. I'm still a little confused why none of the routes studied in depth have simply been trashed.

that's a weird lookin clarinet

Not hard to imagine any parking garages rendered excess by consumer behavior could become repair and storage facilities for this new class of fleet vehicle, especially in downtown where office worker and residential population is more highly concentrated.

That would be sweet for sure

Flower Mound and more so Roanoke are in a sweet spot, would be such a shame if decision makers let traffic ruin it.

So, did the city council election tip the balance in favor of the park instead of tollroad?

Maybe they're simply planning for the future, angling at the aesthetic update of whatever is popular in 20 years.

I'm still not buying the future of this airport as a single alliance hub. Air carriers as well as the host population center will effectively require DFW to accommodate major connecting hub activity for at least two of the Global Alliances based on the cumulative impact from at least these three fac...

that's a whole lot of surface and what-not to keep clean and warp free.....

...at least half of that land should go toward a park and expansion of Museum of Nature and Science.

One thing the cities, well Plano and Frisco, could do to shape a nicer area is co-operatives encouraging high residential density within the confines of last generation's corporate fortress campus. Plant the workers right into the workplace, so to speak. Like the article says, a touch of Uptown. Whe...

When do you think Plano will get their I.M Pei-designed 720-foot skyscraper? Their Pritzker Prize winner designed Winspear Opera House and resident opera company?

^replacing Schepps and Wright with a boulevard and streetcar will lead the gentrification of South Dallas, situated between an actual big forest and downtown, South Dallas would become the among the most desirable residential locations in the South Central US.

I'd have to say Katy Trail or MATA has had more influence on Uptown than KWPark. The Park is a strong incentive to fill in many of the adjacent parcels, but Uptown had been reaching toward adolescence before that park.... Uptown started 25 years ago....

I'm so totally hoping in that booster club sort of way for the remaining real estate locked up in those 80/90s corporate fortress campuses redevelops with at least a few skyscrapers, breaking the 500' threshold. Getting this part of town firmly marked on the horizon would a good thing.

Really too bad there's not a cooperative to redo the backside of Plaza of America so both share a promenade between train station and Arts District.

^haha the interior courtyard looks weird, but I like the street entrances.

These gigantic consolidated corporate service centers and have taken hold in many population centers, but I cannot help but wonder how long the configuration will last..., then how long to retool the garages, gut and redesign the office floorplan.

There's no reason these massive highways cannot be constructed for transportation, flood control and to support recreation --- other than the upfront cost of doing it differently. Flanking the wilderness, these structures can also serve as wildlife deterrents, helping to keep dangerous critters out ...

I'm still pissed that Superconducting Super Collider got cancelled. Me too, that was a huge loss and would have been a significant boom for the southern side of DFW.
