Wow. the Woodall park is going to be one of the most important and face-changing things ever to happen to urban Dallas. Great picture.

[DallasMan]

Whats crazy is that these renderings don't even include all of the high-rises that may likely be built...

[jsoto3]

What is that last one?

[DallasCVB Guy]

The Woodall park illustration reminds me of something out of a French language text book :)

[psukhu]

What is that last one?

The Park Lane TOD?

[Tnekster]

The Park Lane TOD?

It looks like that building says Forrester. Is that Forrester Research? They are in MA.

Whoever built those apartments off Field next to Victory (Jefferson?) is sure sitting on a gold mine. I always knew that piece of land was enormous, but this angle really shows it.

On the Subject of Landscape, there is a misconception on what type of landscape Dallas/Ft Worth has:

I hear that Dallas Does not have any Trees and very flat:

Speaking of the everchanging landscape Pamela and I drove down Industrial and continential and notice that the old Ford water tower is now gone gasp!!!!( How the heck did I miss this?)
Also for you skyline freaks The beautiful unobstructed view of the Downtown Dallas Skyline from Methodist Hospital now obstructed by a dang new parking garage.
Luckly Ninja does have photos of the water tower in a beautiful pano, Thank you Ninja for saving that piece of history for us!!!

i wonder what will happen to the piece of land in the next couple of years. It just dont fit in.

Those renderings of the Woodall park struck me as odd, having walked through that area numerous times, but I couldn't place it. It's the depiction of the Woodall Rogers service road sections. Those roads are high volume arteries; they are not placid, tree lined streets. I noted some of the comments about not letting roads cross the park. Those crossing roads are not the important ones. Many alternatives exist for them. It's the service roads that carry a lot of traffic from above the park location to below the park location. I assume that traffic could get directed on to McKinney and Cedar Springs, but it would not be pretty.

These pics were taken in Dallas' Mountain Creek, not Cedar Hill.
I know because I shot them myself.

Sorry for the Misidentification, nice photos :2doh: , its just nice to show how different the landscape can vary in dallas.

people always say there is no trees and hills, this pic proves them otherwise.

Every city has trees. Dallas is mostly dominated by prairie though. There are beautiful hills and trees in Dallas, but they don't dominate the region at all.

[bluewallinvestment]

Well I'll stil be here. Love this city.

[JasonDallas]

Every city has trees. Dallas is mostly dominated by prairie though. There are beautiful hills and trees in Dallas, but they don't dominate the region at all.

The northern and newer areas are more prairie but many established areas like oak cliff and south Dallas are ridiculously tree infested.

The odd part is, people drive up say 45 north and ignore the tree-lined highways as blighted areas and then get to 75 from Dallas to Allen and see generally tree sparse highway and somehow think the northern half looks better.

Here's a photo of the Lawnview dart rail station clearing within the tree filled area to the left:

Also, there is a huge disparity in rainfall east to west across the metroplex so naturally over time the areas to the northeast are going to have more trees:
