Gaston Avenue Corridor Study Public Survey

/in ,

The City of Dallas is conducting a survey to hear the neighborhood’s thoughts and opinions on the existing transportation conditions and desired improvements for the Gaston Avenue corridor. The survey is estimated to take less than three minutes of your time, and your participation will help the City create a better plan for all road users that travel along Gaston Avenue. If you would like to participate and make your voice heard, you can access the survey here:

The City of Dallas project team will use the survey results to evaluate the Gaston Avenue corridor (between N. Washington Avenue and Garland Road/Grand Avenue (3G Intersection)), determining the best path forward for traffic calming and pedestrian improvements, as well as the consequent impact of such improvements on the traffic operations of the corridor.

Yard of the Month

Big shout out to Carly and Barrett Jones as winners of the February 2021 Yard of the Month! The Jones moved into their 1910 Craftsman style home in February 2019 after extensive renovation. The landscaping they chose includes Savannah Holly, Abelia, Indian Hawthorn shrubs and Magnolia and Chinese Pistache trees, a variety of plants that offers interesting contrasts in texture and dimension.

“We wanted the plants, shrubs and trees to simply blend in and not take away from the house… Hopefully when fully grown they will simply frame the entry.” —Barrett Jones

The Jones are currently in the process of researching the history of their 110-year-old treasure. Congratulations Carly and Barrett, we hope you will be happy here for many years to come.
