  1. NB Central HOV also closed RT @Plano_News: accident has shut down southbound Central Expwy between 15th St and Parker Rd, police say.
  2. Boom! RT @dallas_news: http://twitpic.com/pwr8s - ...and Reunion Arena has toppled. Photo: G.J. McCarthy
  3. DMN doing a live chat w/ a Fort Hood resident still on lockdown: http://bit.ly/3ORWuc
  4. Partner with the school district on aquatics? That's how Allen built its natatorium
  5. RT @Richardson_news: Blog: Texas Instruments to open Richardson chip plant http://tinyurl.com/yd8rslu
  6. RT @dallas_news: We've redesigned our sports section online. Check it out and give us your thoughts. http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/
  7. RT @Plano_News: UPDATE: Rabid bat found in Plano; third in recent weeks | http://retwt.me/fVP0
  8. Lots of lightning but glad to be home before any rain, wind or hail. Richardson council meeting now in closed session
  9. Steve Mitchell stresses importance of keeping Dallas involved in the process. Also notes the leveraged nature of much of the land
  10. Do worst area first? Again...it depends. Sometimes you need areas with a chance to stimulate development elsewhere, Cunningham says
  11. Would take 6 months minimum to do. That doesn't include approval meetings. Would also bring in urban design/planning consultant
  12. The one question not answered yet (will follow up or get it before closed session) is cost of the study
  13. Answer: doing one is ok but will look at the bigger picture
  14. John Murphy has good question: better to look at 1 corridor at a time or each of the city's redevelopment areas
  15. Similar corridor to Spring Valley: Belt Line Rd in Addison, which has Dallas on the other side of the street
  16. Interesting bit from measures of success: a vision tempered by market and economic reality
  17. Another question: who are the people who will be moving into the city? Answer is something called "psychographics"
  18. First question to answer, Ricker says: Is there a market? If so, what are the barriers to redevelopment?
  19. Fort Worth corridors include Camp Bowie, E Lancaster Ave, E Rosedale, Hemphill St
  20. I'm not familiar enough with the FW projects to say whether the plans - some called "urban villages" - have worked well
