The Designated Rider "Make Mine A Double"

The absolute best thing that can be said about Dallas right now is that it contains the Katy Trail, a reclaimed rail right-of-way that runs for 3.5 miles through the direct center of the City, from Downtown all the way north to SMU. It’s a walk and bike combo, and it is awesome, and it is packed with people, and it has spurred development all along it. Quite like the High Line in NYC, but only actually used as more than a tourist curiousity. The worst thing that can be said right now about Dallas is that the Katy Trail dead ends at Central Expressway, the major north-south freeway to Downtown. That is going to change, and the Katy Trail is going to traverse Central via the bridge pictured above and roll all the way to the White Rock Lake 9 mile bike-walk trail, another of the most people-friendly venues in this City. Let’s make it happen. The bridge is just a little too sissy, as pictured, but I’m guessing that will change once they realize you don’t need a parachute to jump Central Expressway, just some decent pavement.
