Project Overview

The Dallas Department of Transportation and Public Works (TPW) is studying the Malcolm X Boulevard corridor between Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Elsie Faye Heggins Street. The purpose of the study is to identify improvements that will advance mobility and safety for all modes of transportation along the corridor and will use community input to prioritize those improvements for near- and long-term completion.

The corridor is on the High Injury Network (HIN) in the City of Dallas Vision Zero Action Plan. Implementing bike lanes on Malcolm X Boulevard was identified as a priority project in the Dallas Strategic Mobility Plan.

The study kicked off in early 2024.​

Other Improvements

Some improvements have already been completed or are funded for implementation, including improvements to the sidewalks between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and McDermott Avenue, and future upgrades to the traffic signals (traffic lights) and pedestrian facilities at the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard intersection, the Pennsylvania Avenue intersection, and the Pine Street intersection.
