Bike Lanes in North Central Dallas
Several on-street variable pathways and bike lanes are
being planned for Dallas. Initially, the N- Trail, a
north-south trail, will be created on Boedeker Drive and St.
Michaels Drive between Forest Lane and Northwest
Highway. This pathway will safely connect walking and
bike riding residents to Northpark and Medical City. It will
also provide access to the Northaven Trail and the Dallas
Park and Recreation Department's off-street trail system.
The trail is a variable pathway, meaning it will have
different design elements depending on the available
space and anticipated usage. This includes dedicated
bike lanes, sharrows (lanes marked for vehicles and bikes)
and sidewalk or off street portions.
Additional alignments include:
The C-Trail following Caruth Haven and Fisher from
Northpark to White Rock Lake going east and following
Northwest Parkway (inside the wall) going west to Preston
Center.
The UP-Link following Boedeker and Airline south from
Northpark to the Bush Library, SMU and the Katy Trail.
The Mockingbird Pedestrian Bridge (currently in design)
as well as pedestrian bridges across Central at
McCommas and Northaven (currently being studied).
Bike Friendly North Dallas is a support organization
dedicated to the design and expansion of Complete Streets
in the City of Dallas. The group works with the City to
identify neighborhoods that will benefit from on-street bike
paths and advocate for their installation. In addition, Bike
Friendly North Dallas supports maintenance and
beautification of the areas adjacent to these trails creating
linear parks. We share the common goal of safe, accessible
streets for bicycles and pedestrians in urban areas.
