More than half the $1 billion Dallas voters approved for public improvements in a 2017 bond referendum has gone unspent according to a briefing presented to the Dallas City Council.
One of four big projects detailed for City Council members Wednesday to help explain the situation is the expansion of Klyde Warren Park.“It’s not satisfactory to me. I understand there are probably things that keep things from happening quicker but it’s disappointing, that’s for sure,” she said.
The city’s second park over a freeway will be the $83 million phase one of the Southern Gateway Deck Park project over I-35E R.L.Thornton Freeway near the Dallas Zoo. Officials said another $50 million may be needed for some park features and the second phase of that park. “We do not believe that a Southern Gateway and pedestrian cap is the minimum amount of public investment to turn around the southern sector. We have dozens of other projects that we’re implementing,” Morris said.
“With ambulances crossing, making sure that they get to the hospital on time, making sure that they’re being safe, when you walk down Harry Hines, it’s hard to cross mid-block,” Moreno said.“I don’t know why it takes so long,” she said. “I have hit so many potholes and manholes and it feels like the tire is just going to smash.”Regional Transportation Council
