The 50-mile Dallas Loop trail aims to transform the city. It’s getting there | Lamster
“Our mantra is Connecting Dallas to Dallas,” says Jeff Ellerman, chairman of the Loop’s board of directors. “We’re very proud of this legacy asset that we are creating.” A majority of the Loop will run south of Interstate 30, and it will eventually link with five DART stations, giving commuters easy rail-to-trail access. Over the last decade, the group has raised some $90 million in funding from public and private sources to complete the project.
A new plaza is also in the works across town, at the foot of the Katy Trail, where Victory Avenue intersects Houston Street, just steps from the American Airlines Center. Billed as the Loop’s new “front door” — or at least one of them — it will link the Katy to the forthcoming Hi Line Connector, which will cross through Victory and the Design District to the Trinity Strand Trail.
SWA is also responsible for the design of the Hi Line Connector, which is scheduled for completion early next year — ifwith its construction can be resolved. It might be the most complex stretch of the Loop, from a design standpoint, as it must navigate the heavily trafficked vehicular corridor of Houston Street, make its way under I-35E into the Design District, wind through the median of Hi Line Drive, and then cross one of the city’s more unforgiving intersections at Oak Lawn Avenue.
