Preston Hollow parking

A recent editorial called the parking garage at Preston Center the relic of “a suburban past that ... [we] should have left behind long ago.” Because of an agreement between the city and investors and owners, “we have had stagnation that has stymied the potential to transform not just Preston Center but the larger Northwest Highway corridor into a truly urban part of Dallas,” with residential density, walkability and public transportation options.

Let’s translate: Can we just find a parking space to get a haircut, go to the orthodontist, get a burger or bagel? All of which is stunningly difficult when it comes to parking.

Here’s the best advice from neighbors:

“Sherry Lane seems less crowded for parking.”

“Walk from home.”

“Digital signage at each first level entry spot saying when the first floor is full would be good. People would automatically drive to the second level instead of circling in and out.”

-Shawna Brinkley

“They need lighting in the covered garage.”

-Vickie Mihos Velis

“I just pull into the covered parking and wait and watch for a vehicle moving from where I want to park. People are constantly coming and going so it just takes a few minutes.”

About The Cover

Crime

The Northaven Park Neighborhood Association reported that there were more crimes in the month of November than there were all year. Also, two suspects were caught on camera breaking into a passenger side window. The theft? A Louis Vuitton tote bag. So many questions: color? size?

Cover photography by Danny Fulgencio. SMU’s Meadows Museum purchased “Sho,” by Jaume Plensa with funds from The Pollock Foundation, the family of Mr. and Mrs. Richard R. Pollock and the family of Lawrence S. Pollock, III, in honor of Mrs. Shirley Pollock.
