Maple at Oak Lawn A plan to redo the Gayborhood street from Oak Lawn Avenue to Mockingbird Lane is in the works DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writer Taffet@DallasVoice.com Maple Avenue, from Oak Lawn Avenue to Mockingbird Lane, has been identified by city officials as the most dangerous street in Dallas for pedestrians.
Also on the top 15 most dangerous streets are two sections of Cedar Springs Road: The section from the Dallas North Tollway to Turtle Creek Boulevard ranked ninth and the section from Turtle Creek Boulevard to Field Street ranked fourteenth.
Planning for how to make Maple Avenue safer began in the fall of 2022 with an analysis completed and an improvement concept developed for the road from Knight Street to Medical District Drive.
A public meeting was held to present proposed improvements in February 2023. The project was expanded down Maple to Mockingbird Lane in the summer of 2023.
