In November, Dallas City
Council voted to allocate $1 mil-
lion to the Bishop Arts

will allow the city to coordinate
water and street improvements
with significant streetscape
enhancements, including addi-
tional landscaping, lighting, deco-
rative pavers, raised pedestrian
crosswalks and other features that
will contribute substantially to the
continuing revitalization of the
area. Preservation Dallas mem-
bers were briefed on the project
by Assistant Planning Director
Christine Carlyle at the Intown
Outing in September.Roseland Homes
The Dallas Housing Authority is
working with the U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development to redevelop
Roseland Homes, a housing pro-
ject developed in the 1940s.
Although the complex has been
determined eligible for the
National Register of Historic
Places, under the terms of the
Walker Consent Decree the
Housing Authority is taking steps
to build housing appropriate for
different income levels. The new
project will mix market-rate and
affordable housing and is being
designed in cooperation with cur-
rent residents of the neighborhood.
Roseland Homes was constructed
on the site of one of the original
Freedman's Towns in Dallas.
Because of the significance of the
area, the Texas Historical
Commission is working with the
Housing Authority to ensure that
the area is properly documentedCrozier Tech and El Pulpo

tion with the vote on the new
