You might notice a lot of changes already in Downtown Dallas ahead of the FIFA World Cup. <\/p>\n
Downtown Dallas Inc. is putting a lot of their focus on Main Street with a number of attractions set to start opening up. <\/p>\n
Shalissa Perry with Downtown Dallas Inc. says they spent quite a bit of time planning this out.<\/p>\n
“We narrowed down several pedestrian zones that were key for getting people from one destination to the other,” Perry said. “Main Street really stood out to us because it’s a major connector. Most of our hotels, residential, restaurants, bars, are all along Main Street.”<\/p>\n
They have activated Main Street this week for the duration of the World Cup which wraps up in the middle of July. <\/p>\n
Pedestrians will notice new shade structures as well as games and seating. <\/p>\n
Downtown Dallas Inc. partnered with Better Block which is a non-profit that helps to reshape neighborhoods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You might notice a lot of changes already in Downtown Dallas ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
