A federal grant brings four projects designed to reconnect disinvested areas closer to completion.

A rendering shows what Southern Gateway Park will look like. Federal funding will help spur the second phase of the project.Four pedestrian zones aimed at reuniting Dallas neighborhoods divided by highways are a step closer to reality thanks to $80 million in federal grant awards announced Wednesday.

The North Texas Council of Governments, the regional transportation planning council heading up the projects, applied for the funds. The money is a slice of the more than $3 billion earmarked for similar projects through discretionary grant programs backed by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act.

The second phase of Southern Gateway Park will finish building an initial pedestrian crossing to complete the plaza, stretching from Lancaster Avenue to Marsalis Avenue over Interstate 35E near the Dallas Zoo. The deck for the first phase from Ewing Avenue to Lancaster has already been built, though the construction of amenities is not complete.

An inverted pedestrian at State Highway 5 in McKinney will include the construction of a bridge within the corridor and provide pedestrian access in the form of a below-bridge pedestrian plaza.Local representatives have been outspoken advocates of several of the projects, which are aimed at addressing the impact transportation engineering has had on disadvantaged neighborhoods.“This is great news for Oak Cliff and Dallas.
