• The framework of the Downtown Dallas 360 Plan includes three overarching goals, each of which are applicable to Dallas Love Field and its neighboring development.

• The goals will be accomplished with the network of downtown districts through the power of five transformative strategies.

• Focus areas within the districts have been identified to “prioritize physical, economic and other improvements, in order to synergize public and private development opportunities and achieved coordinated success over time.”

• The Transformative Strategies of Downtown Dallas 360 provide a planning framework that could also be applied in planning development in and around Dallas Love Field.

LOVE FIELD GOOD NEIGHBOR PLAN

The Good Neighbor Plan provides Dallas with a cohesive plan that not

only connects the local community of Love Field with one another but is

complementary with the Downtown Dallas 360 plan.

This provides Dallas with a 360-degree plan for Love Field itself.

Through pedestrian-oriented environments, public infrastructure

improvements, new development and a network of recreational trails, the

Good Neighbor Plan will promote long-term economic and social growth in

and around Love Field.
