The US Transportation Secretary is stopping in North Texas for a visit this week.
This Thursday, April 4th, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will be in North Texas to celebrate an $80 million award given to Dallas and McKinney to help reconnect parts of the communities that were divided by transportation decisions of the past.
These divisions left entire neighborhoods without direct access to essential resources such as schools, employment opportunities, medical facilities, and places of worship.
This Monetary award will help build four pedestrian caps through the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
The first is Interstate Highway 30. The Second is Phase 2 of Klyde Warren Park. The next project is Phase 2 Of Southern Gateway Park. The last project, State Highway 5 in McKinney, will be an inverted pedestrian cap that includes the construction of a bridge within the corridor.
