PROJECT INTRODUCTION

• The LBJ/Skillman Urban Planning Initiative is a joint undertaking of the North

Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and the City of Dallas to

create a new urban plan at the intersection of LBJ Freeway and Skillman

Street.

• The study area encompasses approximately 700 acres centered on the

reconfiguration of the at-grade streets and the LBJ/Skillman realignment.

• Begun as a community led initiative, this study seeks to address the

underutilized land, vacant retail, isolated DART station and confusing traffic

patterns currently present within the study area.

• The planning initiative will identify key area assets to incorporate into a holistic

area plan addressing community needs and recommended strategies to

attract new development to the area in association with both the current

Skillman alignment and the proposed TxDOT redesign.

• Parcel utilization is a measure

of an area’s or parcel’s

“ripeness” for revitalization

and / or redevelopment.

It reflects the ratio of

improvement value to total

value

• When the land value

represents a disproportionate

share of total value, these

parcels often become targets

for redevelopment or

assembly for new

development

• Within the Study Area, the

majority of parcels that are

under-utilized (another

measure of properties not

being use for their highest

use) are located south of

Highway 635, however, there

are instances north

• Under-utilized parcels are often

potential candidates for

redevelopment
