Preliminary Design Conceptsfor Potential Pilot Projects

Community input on desired improvements andpreferences for street design elements was usedto guide preliminary design concepts

The following preliminary design concepts forthe potential pilot projects are works in progressand will be modified and refined based onfurther community input

If funding for implementation is secured, there

will be additional opportunities for communityinput through detailed design and theThoroughfare Plan amendment process

Potential Phased Approach

Staff can explore cost reduction through a phasedapproach:

Limit higher cost design elements to theidentified focus areas within each corridor: Enhanced/wider sidewalks and sidewalk landscaping

Enhanced crosswalks

Pedestrian lighting

median landscaping

Include moderate cost elements for full corridorextents Bike facility street markings

Basic sidewalk improvements and crosswalk markings

Funding Considerations

These Complete Street pilot projects will beincluded in the City of Dallas Needs Inventoryfor consideration in the 2012 Bond Program

Projects to be proposed in the 2012 Bondpackage will be determined by City Councilpriorities

Potential opportunities for collaborations withDallas County, DART and TXDOT to be explored

Public-private partnership opportunities to beexplored for handling the increased operationand maintenance responsibilities associatedwith complete street enhancements

Partnership Opportunities

Collaboration with DART on enhanced transitstops and related improvements

Opportunities for collaboration with DallasCounty

Opportunities to work with Public ImprovementDistricts (PIDs) and other public/private entities

to partner on sharing capital and operation andmaintenance costs.
