SUMMARY OF ANALYSES – SOUTH LAMAR CORRIDOR
• South Lamar corridor dominated by metal recycling facilities
• Residential edges scattered with night clubs and liquor stores
• Vast areas of physical decay within neighborhoods
• Obsolete industrial facilities
• Incompatible land uses

SUMMARY OF ANALYSES – S. M. WRIGHT CORRIDOR
• S.M. Wright Freeway acts as a major divider of neighborhoods
• Extensive decay developed along its edges
• Visual pollution and noise
• Unsafe pedestrian environment
• Dead Man’s Curve overpass area is poorly designed

11. SOUTH DALLAS ACTION PLAN, DALLAS, TEXAS
MAJOR FINDINGS
• Planned infrastructures will have major impacts
on adjacent residential communities
• It is imperative to rebuild “environmental
justice” communities as new infrastructure
projects are developed in South Dallas
• Rebuilding communities requires substantial
resources and political commitment for land
use relocation and redevelopment of obsolete
residential areas
• Additional public investments and mitigation
measures are needed to unlock the
development potential of the South Lamar
Corridor and the S.M. Wright Freeway
• Infrastructure projects could be catalysts for
community revitalization and economic growth
