SWMD TRANSFORMATION: THE CAMPAIGN FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE, SYSTEMS, AND ENVIRONMENTS.
This ambitious next phase of Texas Trees Foundation’s powerful fundraising and engagement campaign invites the entire City of Dallas to support the Southwestern Medical District’s future through this transformative project.
LEARN ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
The vision of the Southwestern Medical District Transformation effort is to create a livable district that emphasizes and supports the health of the environment, the health of systems, and the health of people. Texas Trees Foundation and our partners worked with the District, Hospitals, and the Community to develop goals within the framework.
We are accomplishing this bold vision through two specific efforts:
Green Spine
Greening 2 Miles of Public Right of Way
This streetscape transformation will set a new standard for healthy communities, especially in a setting for healing, and it will elevate the Medical District’s status as an economic engine for the City and region. Sidewalks and the cycle track are set far behind the curb sto increase the comfort and safety of people. Street trees and crossing treatments encourage drivers to drive slower, ensuring the 35 mph limit is maintained
Green Park
Transforming Asphalt to 10 acres of Greenspace
The vision for the Green Park transforms an existing, outdated 1940’s highway and expanding Medical District into a new, iconic ‘living’ center for the greater Campus Landscape that both connects and serves the diverse medical, academic, and residential user groups within the Medical District. Positioned centrally within the SWMD, the cloverleaf exchange has the opportunity to become an iconic Green Park –the central hub that connects and serves the whole of the Southwestern Medical District and its fast growing adjacent areas and expanding district.
