Partners in the Revival of Nature in Dallas

“The Southwestern Medical District Board in partnership with the Texas Trees Foundation and our stakeholders are transforming the streetscape of Harry Hines into a green, healthy, connected, and safe linear parkway with a central park. Completion of this vision will have an impact on every medical professional, student, patient, and visitor in this critically important District.” 

-David Biegler, Chairman, Southwestern Medical District 

“The Green Park is an important context-sensitive solution at the heart of the Southwestern Medical District that will replace the aging cloverleaf infrastructure at Harry Hines Blvd. and Inwood Road. This project is considered a big win for the North Texas region and would balance the need to move vehicles efficiently and safely while also promoting walkability, integrating resiliency, improving ecosystem health, and spurring economic development.”

- Michael Morris, Director of Transportation, North Central Texas Council of Governments

"The Southwestern Medical District Urban Streetscape and Park Project is a collaborative and critical undertaking that will bring significant human and environmental health and safety benefits to this area and uplift the District as a destination for health and healing in our city. Via planting new trees, improving cycling, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure, and other traffic calming measures, Texas Trees Foundation's work is occurring at just the right time to contribute to critical goals in the City of Dallas — including Vision Zero and the Comprehensive Environmental and Climate Action Plan. Today, Harry Hines Boulevard is part of the city's High Injury Network and the Medical District falls within the largest urban heat island in the City of Dallas, but these changes will rewrite the story by creating an accessible, connected, comfortable, and safe campus that promotes all modes of transportation."

-Dr. Ghassan "Gus" Khankarli, Director, City of Dallas Department of Transportation
