The former mayors are leading the charge for a vision to transform southern Dallas. Phase one of the massive park under construction on top of I-35 is expected to become reality by the end of 2023.
Former mayors of Dallas joined the current mayor Tuesday to announce a funding milestone for the city’s newest deck park.
Former and current city leaders say the park will attract people from all over and will help drive up the economy in southern Dallas. The city leaders point out it will not be a carbon copy of Klyde Warren Park but a game changer for the long neglected and often overlooked southern sector of Dallas. "For so long, Dallas has always had the spirit of nobody is going to leave downtown. Nobody’s going to ride a train. Nobody’s going to come to a park over the freeway. Nobody is going," Kirk said. "Well, we have proven if you build this stuff, people come, and they’ll keep coming."
