McKinney/Cole Avenues
Two-Way Conversion PROJECT


​The Dallas Department of Transportation and Public Works is evaluating the impacts of converting McKinney and Cole avenues and nearby roadways from one-way configurations into two-way streets.

Among the project's goals is to calm traffic and improve safety along a project area that extends 4.5 miles between Allen Street and Harvard Avenue. While the City of Dallas is the lead agency on this project, the Texas Department of Transportation and Uptown Dallas, Inc., are funding partners.
