PRESENTATION TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS | Analyses | S. Lamar |

SUMMARY OF ANALYSES – SOUTH LAMAR CORRIDOR

• South Lamar corridor dominated by metal recycling facilities

• Residential edges scattered with night clubs and liquor stores

• Vast areas of physical decay within neighborhoods

• Obsolete industrial facilities

• Incompatible land uses

Slide 7 of 70



PRESENTATION TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS | Analyses | S. M. Wright |

SUMMARY OF ANALYSES – S. M. WRIGHT CORRIDOR

• S.M. Wright Freeway acts as a major divider of neighborhoods

• Extensive decay developed along its edges

• Visual pollution and noise

• Unsafe pedestrian environment

• Dead Man’s Curve overpass area is poorly designed

- 58 parcels directly impacted 4. Traffic and construction impact areas

Slide 10 of 70



MAJOR FINDINGS

PRESENTATION TO COMMUNITY LEADERS AND STAKEHOLDERS | Analyses | Findings |

• Planned infrastructures will have major impacts on adjacent residential communities

• It is imperative to rebuild “environmental justice” communities as new infrastructure projects are developed in South Dallas

• Rebuilding communities requires substantial resources and political commitment for land use relocation and redevelopment of obsolete residential areas

• Additional public investments and mitigation measures are needed to unlock the development potential of the South Lamar Corridor and the S.M. Wright Freeway

• Infrastructure projects could be catalysts for community revitalization and economic growth

NEXT STEPS

• SDAP Task Force to discuss and deliberate on ideas presented and recommendations made by the Consultant:

• High density Park Row development scenario

• Relocation of industrial uses along South Lamar to two or more state of the art Industrial Parks

• Mixed-use developments along the entire South Lamar Corridor

• Redesign of the S.M. Wright Freeway as an urban boulevard, with an iconic gateway located at the intersection with the Trinity Parkway and I-175

• Relocation of houses, affected both directly and indirectly by the gateway development, within the surrounding neighborhoods of Colonial, Ideal, and Bonton

• The construction for both the South Lamar St. and the S.M. Wright corridors should be financed simultaneously

PRESENTATION TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS | Next Steps | Slide 64 of 70



• Initiate dialogue with City officials and technical teams of the NTTA and TXDOT projects

• Request guarantees for Trinity Parkway and S.M. Wright Freeway jobs and training for South Dallas residents

• Begin discussion regarding implementation strategies for the redevelopment of surplus land, and selection of development entities

• Participate in the rezoning process

• January 2009: Participate at Public Hearings for the Trinity Parkway and S.M. Wright projects

NEXT STEPS: continued…
