The Capping

A handful of BFOCer’s were on hand for the capping of the Calatrava bridge at Singleton and Beckley. Other notables in the area were Mayor Leppert, and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. One major oversight of the new bridge is its lack of bicycle facilities. Given that the bridges in Dallas can live up to 100 years (Houston Viaduct), it’s a major disconnect to not plan for this at the beginning of the project. Right now, the Dallas Bicycle Committee is working to correct this, but no promises are being made at the moment.
