Uptown/Oak Lawn Hyperlocal Conversation

Hyperlocal conversations are neighborhood-specific monthly gatherings where neighbors explore ways to improve walkability where we live. \-\-\- Maple Avenue between Oak Lawn and Mockingbird was identified by city officials as Dallas’ most dangerous street for pedestrians. A 2024 road-diet proposal included a reconfiguration of the roadway from four lanes to three lanes with bike lanes, new or enhanced pedestrian crossings, and sidewalk and traffic signal improvements. At our next Oak Lawn Hyperlocal Conversation in October, we’re bringing neighbors along Maple Ave together to review the data on crash hotspots, transit, sidewalks, homes and businesses, revisit the proposed designs, examine evidence about bike lanes and business impacts, and discuss how we can support making our community safer for all.
