Got this info in the email, thought all you Dallas riders might enjoy this event.
I would love to see this be successful and have Ft.Worth pick up the mantel.
http://tinyurl.com/648cg54 On October 22nd, Team Better Block will launch its first "Better Bridge" project alongside the City of Dallas, taking two lanes of the Cedar Crest Bridge which connects South Dallas to East Oak Cliff, and converting it into a large pedestrian and bike esplanade complete with landscaping, seating, historical markers, and more. The project is being developed to test the potential to permanently readapt the bridge and create a destination which links both sides of the river, while providing access to the Trinity Trail. New York's HighLine and Austin's Lady Bird pedestrian bridge are inspirations for the initiative.
