Dallas public open house to showcase Garland Road Vision study

by PegNews wire

People living and working along Garland Road in Dallas are invited to attend an open house at 6:30 p.m. on October 8 at the First Family Church to provide their ideas, thoughts and suggestions for improving the roadway corridor and adjacent land use decisions.

The Garland Road Vision Advisory Committee, the City of Dallas, and the North Central Texas Council of Governments have joined together to conduct a visioning study for Garland Road in Dallas. The limits of the study generally are from IH-635 south to Gaston Avenue. The study intends to create a vision for the Garland Road corridor to stimulate commercial revitalization; beautify the corridor’s existing architecture and landscaping; enhance urban design components, such as lighting or signage; reduce congestion; and create walkable/bikeable communities along the five-mile corridor.

Information about the purpose of the visioning study, the anticipated outcomes and a proposed schedule will be available at the open house. Information about how to participate in the process and make comments on the visioning study will also be presented. Attendees will be asked to identify significant community buildings, important elements that exist along the corridor and where traffic congestion occurs. Attendees also will be asked to provide other key information about the Garland Road corridor and to offer their ideas and suggestions for the future Garland Road corridor.
