Martin Luther King Jr. DART Station

The South Dallas Fair Park Area Plan Task Force is advocating for change in the community, including addressing displacement pressures, preserving the area's cultural identity, and promoting equitable outcomes, with the City Council set to vote on the plan on May 28.

The South Dallas Fair Park Area Plan identifies 2nd Avenue as a key focus area to transform into a walkable corridor featuring retail, restaurants, office space, and housing, with recommendations to change the zoning and create a mixed-use subdistrict to encourage development close to the street and remove parking minimums.

The South Dallas Fair Park Area Plan recommends expanding zoning along Elsie Faye Heggins Street to allow both residential and non-residential development, aiming to ease housing pressure and revitalize the corridor.

The City of Dallas and the community are working to transform the Martin Luther King Jr. DART Station area into a walkable, mixed-use district featuring mid- and high-rise development, with a focus on retail, restaurants, office, employment, and housing, and prioritizing investments in infrastructure.
