Quote from: Aristocles on July 21, 2026, 07:14:44 PMI'd actually like to see the food hall add more to the streetscape rather than be off in a park. Parks are nice but ultimately they don't make a city; streets and the buildings along them do.

Quote from: Skybox111 on July 21, 2026, 07:47:53 PMyou can see n8 is still empty no one there i guess that equipment was from the apartment next to it. Wondering if investors are saying not to start construction until the pubix situation is done and to see if the apartments are going to be rented out quick enough to justify that tower to be built. Cause this should've started back in may and june more of this stalling approach needs to be addressed as to why nothing has happened.

- Lot of extra wide sidewalks, often due to narrow streets.
- Cleanliness, no trash I could see in any of these photos. Looked like everything is well swept. Even along the railroad tracks.
- Solid mix of preserved historic buildings and distinctive new buildings.
- Greenery, green spaces and green sides along the water.
- Pedestrian friendly streetscapes.
- Vibrant street facings, not parking garages and hardly any blank walls.
How does Pittsburgh handle transit? I only saw one bus in the pictures and a painted bus lane. No rail.
QuoteOn Saturday, all three candidates appeared at a public forum.
QuoteTo cities and state leaders who think of DART, and even fixed-route transit generally, as a relic of the 1980s, Ford is selling what they are buying: things like innovative vaporware solutions pitched as an easy way out of the very uneasy situation transit faces in the Dallas area. Political tradeoffs aren't anything new to DART, but the current situation demands a CEO who can manage political relationships without giving in to them and who serves riders instead of turning them into pawns to be sacrificed for headline-getting pet projects. We ought to have learned our lesson about what happens when you build transit for politicians over riders by now.
In the week since Tuesday's meeting, Ford's many scandals have started bubbling up into the Dallas press. The board will have been given a whole week since Tuesday to learn about their "Candidate A" when they meet again on July 21. It's possible he is up to the task; he will fit into the role smoothly and serve the agency well. However, DART's future requires walking carefully down a narrow path, and Ford's record is nothing but shaky.
