DALLAS — For the past 20 years, the McKinney Avenue Transit Authority (MATA) has provided transportation for Uptown dwellers, the Dallas tourist, and many more. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of MATA as one of Uptown’s moving landmarks, West Village has partnered with the Young Architects Forum to host a trolley rest stop design competition. The first phase of the competition concluded September 10, with the submission of many exciting and creative entries. Representatives from West Village and the Young Architects Forum narrowed these entries down to 23 stellar semi-finalist designs, incorporating everything from interactive sound to an oversized fan.

Shoppers are invited to view and vote for their favorite semi-finalist trolley rest stop designs Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11. Each design will be displayed in West Village boutique windows, and shoppers are encouraged to stop in and cast their vote for the winning design. Votes will be tallied the evening of Sunday, October 11, and the winning design will be implemented into each West Village trolley stop.

Here are some of the entries:
