Bishop/8th Avenue. Dallas
boasts the largest number of
conservation districts of any
city in Texas, and it also
serves as a model for many
new programs. Over the last
year, an increasing number Perry Heights
of Dallas neighborhoods
have initiated the process. Many are responding to
threats from over development or loss of buildings seen
as irreplaceable.
The Save the M Streets is one of the best-organized
neighborhoods. Arising out of concern for the increas-
ing number of tear downs, residents of Greenland Hills,
aka "the M Streets", have gathered almost 80% of
property owner support. The neighborhood has its own
Web site (www.save-the-m-streets.org) dedicated to the
conservation district effort. In late September, the group
submitted their application to the City of Dallas hoping
that city leaders would step forward to support their
effort. They are now working through the political
process.
In addition to the M Streets, Perry Heights, North Oak
Lawn, Vickery Place, L.O. Daniel, Hampton Hills,
Elmwood, Greenway Parks, Old East Dallas
(www.oldeastdallasconservation.org) and Hillside
neighborhoods are working at some level in the proc-
ess. Mount Auburn, an early East Dallas neighborhood,
also is considering whether it is appropriate for them.
Neighborhoods with strong organizations may increas-
ingly turn to the conservation district designation as a
means of guiding its future. Preservation Dallas contin-
ues to provide assistance for many of these groups as we
see it as an important means of protecting neighbor-
hoods and historic buildings. The ongoing Neighbor-
hood Network, started this year, facilitates this commu-
nication on a monthly basis. If interested in joining any
of these efforts, please contact us.
