The Dallas Department of Transportation & Public Works (TPW) is studying improvements at the Colorado Boulevard-Tyler Street-Sylvan Avenue intersection.

The purpose of the study is to identify improvements that will advance mobility and safety for all modes of transportation at this intersection. The study will identify improvement projects to implement.

Project Scope

This study area includes the multi-point intersection where West Colorado Boulevard, North Tyler Street, and Sylvan Avenue join in Oak Cliff.

The main phases of this project include assessing existing conditions, analyzing deficiencies and ways to address them, presenting recommendations to residents, and gathering their input to finalize recommendations.



Refined concept (October 2025)

TPW consultants presented a refined concept of residents' preferred Colorado-Sylvan-Tyler alternative (see the April 2025 survey results below) during a public meeting on Oct. 14, 2025. Staff and consultants answered questions from more than 70 attendees.

Next, the project moves to the design phase. A future public meeting will be scheduled at the "60 percent design stage" in late 2026 to engage with property owners and stakeholders affected by the project.

​Survey results (April 2025)

During the April 1, 2025, meeting, consultants and TPW presented to the public four options for potential improvements at the Colorado-Sylvan-Tyler intersection.


The presentation included the following alternatives:

  • A "no build" option
  • Alternative 1 - Intersection and traffic signal improvements with minor modifications to the existing intersection (the low-cost option)
  • Alternative 2 - Offset "T" intersection involving significant changes to the existing intersection (at a higher cost compared to Alternative 1)
  • Alternative 3 - "Peanut Roundabout" option, which reconfigures the intersection to reduce speeds and improve sight distance
An online public survey was conducted for one month following the meeting. There were 194 respondents and the results were:

  • 61 percent chose Alternative 3 as the preferred option​
  • 21 percent chose Alternative 1 as the preferred option
  • 18 percent chose Alternative 2 as the preferred option

​Provide Input

Council District 1 -- along with TPW staff and consultants -- hosted a second public meeting for this project on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025, at Kidd Springs Recreation Center, 711 W. Canty St., in Dallas.
