Dallas' Elm Street taking a new direction

...the city is planning a new streetscape to make Elm Street in Deep Ellum an attractive two-lane road with two-way traffic instead of one way toward downtown. The aim is to slow it down, make it pedestrian- and bike-friendly and draw more business.
The project — funded through $6 million approved in a 2006 city bond program — is in the conceptual design stage and has a number of steps to go before the first jackhammer hits the pavement.
