Dallas built one giant deck park in the form of Klyde Warren Park, and now it’s hoping for another over Interstate 35E in Oak Cliff.
Dallas built one giant deck park in the form of Klyde Warren Park, and now it's hoping for another over Interstate 35E.
The idea is to build a park over I-35E between Beckley and Ewing avenues to connect the Dallas Zoo and downtown Oak Cliff.
The deck park idea is part of a larger effort to improve the city's so-called Southern Gateway.
Dozens of residents learned about the idea at a special meeting Tuesday evening, where they saw several proposed renderings.
"To have a bridge like that would enable some of the benefits to spill over into some of those poorer neighborhoods over there, so I think that helps everybody," said Oak Cliff resident Bobbi Smith.
Texas Department of Transportation officials are still considering a possible design.
