Dallas: The City That Hates Pedestrians, Pt. 36

How not to populate an area filled with tourists.
By |

So let’s say you’re a major municipality that contains a part of your downtown that attracts something like 7 million tourists a year, according to the district’s own data. Do you do this?

Heads up, everyone but people trying to walk on the sidewalk!

Seems counter-intuitive to me. Especially considering this photo was taken on December 6. The special event starts on December 14. Have fun walking on the sidewalk in the West End until then.
