1. To give Arts In October the send off it deserved Sunday, the Art District brought in Jason Roberts and Amy Cowan of Better Block, who helped transform the street into a busy pedestrian zone, complete with food trucks, games, and art projects. The Arts District’s Veletta Lill spoke to the effort to change zoning to allow for food trucks in the Central Business District:
“We discovered that the city development code doesn’t allow food trucks to set up permanently in the central business district,” she said. “Our ordinances are not contemporary. They do not reflect changing times.”
2. On Unfair Park, Robert Wilonsky reports on his experience of day, during which he heard Veletta Lill delight over the event’s pushing the boundaries of current Dallas code, which has inhibited food trucks and other unsanitary unpleasantries for years. Jason Roberts chimes in:
This simple solution could naturally spell the end of the tunnels that city planners have tried to close for years now. These, tied to smartly planned public squares could redefine Downtown Dallas into something that would truly be “World Class.”
3. As for the food, Sarah Reiss has you covered over on SideDish with muchos photos.
