Conceived as a TOD, the development site, Cedars
Commons, receives pedestrian momentum
through the recently constructed Cedars Dart stop
and the enormously popular Dallas Heritage
Village, which also anchors the mix-use,
mix-income community. Bio-swales activate the
pedestrian corridor as they inter-weave public
green space. Pervious outdoor surfaces, a
community/rooftop garden, “green streets,” and
south oriented, building-integrated photovoltaic
panels also contribute to efforts of energy
efficiency and sustainability. A museum that
celebrates the work of The Cedars local artisans
and an independent dual-screen movie theatre
attract patrons most hours of the day.

The impetus for development in all areas of The
Cedars is relieving the pressure caused by its
contiguous built barriers and allowing complete
permeability into and through the site. Porosity
cannot be ceaseless if hindered by physical
barriers. ‘Continuum’ provides the opportunities
for the urban and residential fabric to stretch
southward, ultimately providing unconditional
permeability to an area once ignored.
