Mike Hendrix explains the vision for the Cedar Springs PID Security, economic development and amenities will be top priorities DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff WriterTaffet@DallasVoice.com Improvement districts have been created around Dallas and in other cities to enhance public safety and security, to design and construct public infrastructure and to enhance pedestrian amenities.
Now the Gayborhood is getting an improvement district of its own. Most of the improvement districts that are chartered by the city are designated “public”and referred to as “PIDs.” The new Cedar Springs Improvement District will be modeled after an improvement district in The Woodlands, near Houston, that is chartered by the state and has even more ambitious plans than most Dallas PIDs, according to the organizer Mike Hendrix.
The enabling legislation will be sponsored by state Rep. Rafael Anchia, who represents parts of Oak Lawn. Boundaries for the new CSID are Oak Lawn Avenue, Maple Avenue, Inwood Road and Lemmon Avenue.
Along Inwood, both sides of the street will be included, so Resource Center and Cathedral of Hope will be part of the district.
