An upcoming summit in Oak Cliff dedicated to transportation comes at an awkward time where many residents are up in arms over the future of two critical connectors. <\/p>\n
The future of the Houston and Jefferson Street viaducts connecting Oak Cliff to Downtown Dallas remains unclear given the new design of the downtown convention center renovation. <\/p>\n
A recent proposal would add southbound traffic to the Houston Street viaduct and completely reroute the Jefferson Street viaduct north to Lamar Street where it would end.<\/p>\n
The Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce 2026 Transportation Summit does not mention this topic for the upcoming summit at Methodist Dallas Medical Center next Friday. <\/p>\n
Residents and some Dallas City Council members though have strongly opposed changing the existing routes that run from Downtown Dallas to Oak Cliff.<\/p>\n
The future of the decades-long viaducts came into question after the Dallas City Council approved a change to the new convention center downtown.<\/p>\n
That change would no longer allow the Jefferson Street viaduct to run under the building after it becomes Market Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An upcoming summit in Oak Cliff dedicated to transportation comes at an awkward time where many residents are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463987,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,109,4896,840],"class_list":["post-463986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-downtown-dallas","tag-oak-cliff","tag-transportation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
