The Oak Farms Area Transportation Corridors Study courtesy of North Central Texas Council of Governments.
Portions of North Oak Cliff, the former Oak Farms Dairy site and surrounding communities in the City of Dallas will have the opportunity to comment in a transportation study meeting this week.
The study was conducted by The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) in collaboration with the City of Dallas to evaluate existing traffic operations, identify potential transportation improvements and develop multimodal strategies to enhance the safety, connectivity and mobility in the area.
Working in two parts, The City of Dallas Transportation and Public Works Department analyzed the key corridors to assess the extension of the DART Streetcar system, infrastructure, and rehabilitation to projects surrounding the street grid. NCTCOG focused on the Houston Street and Jefferson Street Viaducts, which explored a range of options for travel by foot, vehicle, public transit, or cycling. This portion also included the evaluation of connecting regional transit and improve the role of the bridges to address future transportation demands, according to the NCTCOG website.
With the presentation beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, August 12, the public is welcome to join the Virtual Public Meeting for the Oak Farms Study as they review the transportation corridors study. This concluding meeting will provide updates on the corridor study and present the selected alternative for the NCTCOG regional project to the public.
