CITY PLANNER -
HE AND STREET
Vincent Ponte is a specialist in planning the so-caller
"central core" areas of large cities. Ponte, of New
York and Montreal, was hired recently by the Dallas
City Council to study 930-acres in downtown Dallas.
He aired some of his ideas today at the annual meeting
of the Central Business District Association in Dallas.
And paramount is the idea of putting vehicular traffic
and pedestrians on different levels, so that people
can walk over downtown without crossing a street.
Main Place, he says, is a 10-acre start.
