There’s a place for that.The City of Dallas and the Deep Ellum Foundation have collaborated with rideshare companies Uber and Lyft to address concerns about public safety, traffic flow and quality of life in the Deep Ellum area. To reduce congestion in the core area of activity in Deep Ellum, designated zones will be marked for rideshare drivers to stage and wait for riders, as well as where to pick them up. New zone identification signs and wayfinding markers will be placed in the zones, and new lighting has been installed in select locations to support this pilot and related nighttime activity. After the April 18 launch, the zones will be in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This pilot will provide the first coordinated, neighborhood-wide designated rideshare drop off and pick up zones outside of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. These new zones will provide customers access within one to two blocks of the core activity in Deep Ellum, while improving congestion and emergency vehicle access in the area. Geo-fencing technology will show riders and drivers in the area where to meet. The pilot is subject to change, and the zones may shift as the program is continually assessed.

I can’t wait for our city to show the attendees all that we have to offer and all that we’ve accomplished.” Event Information: What: IEDC 2020 Annual Conference When: October 11 – 14, 2020 Where: The Hilton Anatole: 2201 N.

The first “History Harvest” will take place at the Dallas West Branch from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 27. Participants can bring up to five items about the history of their neighborhood to have digitized and added to the library’s archives. Oral histories will also be recorded for a series of short films about the neighborhood. All participants will receive digital copies of their contributions. Additional History Harvest events will take place at the Polk-Wisdom Branch and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Branch later this year. Exhibits of the digitized materials will be shown at the respective branch libraries in fall 2019 and winter/spring 2020, including a final show in June 2020 at the Central Library featuring stories collected from all three neighborhoods. “We’re excited to expand our Neighborhood Stories work through this partnership with the Dallas Public Library. The goal of this work is to amplify the stories of residents across the city; working with the Library will enable a level of preservation and future access that we’ve never been able to achieve before,” said Lizzie MacWillie, Associate Director of buildingcommunityWORKSHOP.
