Ok it is time for the Uptown PID to build some real sidewalks in Uptown. How about a project that goes from El Fenix to West Village on both sides of Mc Kinney Ave. A minimum 4 foot wide sidewalk with a 6 foot wide being even better. On both sides of the street and no barriers. That means no trees,bushes,poles,signs,cables,trash cans and anything else that gets in the way of a real pedestrian sidewalk. Four to six feet wide with no barriers.
The time is now while the economy is a little slow. The tax money is available ,your public improvement tax money, to spend. This would create that "Best Walking Neighborhood in Dallas" for real not just in words. A mid rise public parking garage might be a good idea too. That would take care of the suburban tourist and their car. We already have the Mc Kinney Ave Trolley to move people up and down the avenue. Now we need a real sidewalk on both sides of Mc Kinney Ave. If you agree then let the Uptown PID and your local leaders know your opinion.
Ocean Prime located at the corner of Cedar Springs and Pearl opens today. Good luck to a new Uptown Restaurant . Outtakesdallas.org celebrates there 11th season at Magnolia Theater , in West Village , tonight. The City Lights Christmas Tree Lighting is next Friday at Main Street Gardens.
FRIDAY The 13TH !

I know I'm a little late one this, but I have an opinion! Not only should you have good sidewalks, they shouldn't be made of anything resembling bricks, as these are hard on wheelchairs, disabled and elderly people, baby carriages, and clumsy people (like me). The ramps should have tactile surfaces just before the street for blind and visually impaired. Good luck!
