On Tuesday, the Dallas Transportation committee held its monthly meeting on transit planning for the city. On the docket were updates on the proposed light rail link to Lovefield airport, and a presentation on streetcars for the arts district. Before the presentations, the chair of the committee, Linda Koop, stated to the group that the city needs to begin researching the creation of complete streets, and singled out the addition of bike lanes as one of her goals. Ms. Koop expanded on this by saying she and the committee’s co-chair were planning a trip to Washington DC to learn more about the new administration’s push for infrastructure development stemming from the new stimulus package, and to lobby for multi-modal transit funds.
