Knox Street and the Complete Streets Initiative: a Comparative Analysis of Complete Street Implementation in the City of Dallas
Abstract
The Knox Street district, located just a few miles north of downtown Dallas, Texas, offers a variety of high-end retail, residential, and commercial use options. The increased popularity of downtown Dallas development and the Knox / Henderson neighborhood has drawn attention to the community situated on the edge of Highland Park and Dallas. This study examines Dallas' Complete Street best practices and their implementation on the Knox Street project. It asks: how effective has the implementation of this demonstration project been? It aims to answer this question by first comparing the City of Dallas' Complete Streets Manual draft with nationally established Complete Streets best practice literature and then performing a SWOT analysis - with project stakeholders' input - it seeks to gauge how effectively and successfully these practices have been implemented in the Knox Street Public Improvement District (PID). Lessons from this study may be useful in future demonstration efforts.
