Dallas Skillman Corridor TIF District Board of Directors is prioritizing improved connectivity in the Lake Highlands area, as discussed in their recent meeting on March 28, 2025. Board members highlighted the need for enhanced pathways that connect the northern and southern parts of the district, particularly across LBJ Skillman Bridal.

The board noted significant progress in creating links between East and West Lake Highlands, specifically through the Lake Highlands Trail and its connection to the White Rock Trail. However, they emphasized that further efforts are necessary to ensure seamless access for residents, especially students traveling between Richland College and local high schools.

With approximately 35,000 residents living north of the bridge, the board sees the development of direct routes as essential for fostering educational opportunities and community engagement. The focus on family-friendly initiatives and educational access underscores the district's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for its residents.

As the board moves forward, the emphasis on connectivity is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of the Lake Highlands area, making it more accessible and integrated for all community members.
