Dallas Street Design Manual

• Location: Dallas, Texas

This project faced major setbacks as a change in city staff led to heated debates over the function of streets in a city. While many on the city staff wanted the traditionally car-oriented streets to begin prioritizing pedestrians, bicycles, and transit, several others were opposed to such a “complete streets” vision.

I researched, wrote, and created graphics for the first draft of Dallas’ Street Design Manual, updating Dallas’ 1993 manual with new complete streets design principals. Other disciplines at Huitt-Zollars and sub-consultants updated the contents of the Drainage Design Manual and the Street Process Manual, while my team compiled all three with matching graphics and formatting.
