Dallas' "Highway" Park

http://archpaper.com/news/articles.asp?id=6435

The article in today's Architect's  Newspaper has an interesting perspective on the recently opened Klyde Warren Park, bridging Uptown with Downtown.  While the writer complements Dallas for another glitzy addition to  the urban streetscape, he wonders if the park will encourage people to get out of their cars long enough to enjoy it, and suggests that the City continue its greening up with similar conversions of adjacent parking lots to greenspace.  In 2012, we've added Main Street Garden, Belo Garden, with more to come.  The Dallas Museum of Art and Nasher Museum are rumored to be re-orienting to become a part of the "Highway" Park.  Ride down there, take the trolley, ride your bike there;  looks like it is working quite well!
