Dallas City Council members Wednesday began discussing what should be included in a proposed 2024 public improvement bond referendum.
Davis Street between Hampton and Westmoreland was included in the 2017 bond referendum, but work won’t begin on that segment until late 2025.
Council members have said the new bond plan must be crafted to help make up for past racial inequity in certain parts of the city. Several streets in that area including Easter Avenue have an F-grade street quality rating from the city but are not on any work schedule.“We know that we’ll probably affect more folks on an arterial street versus a residential street,” Assistant City Manager Robert Perez said.
“If we’re going to continue to invest the lion's share of these opportunities in potholes, that’s not going to get grocery stores to my constituents,” Councilman Adam Bazaldua said.“This new policy is a game changer colleagues. This will change our city in a good way, create a way that we can provide some balance,” Councilman Casey Thomas said.
