Mayor Tom Leppert

The coming of a new year and moving into a new decade provides an opportunity to reflect on where we have been and what lies ahead.

The "can-do spirit," that belief in tomorrow, is again alive in Dallas. In fact, I believe at the next decade change, in 2020, people here will look back on this period as a historic point in our city's timeline that reshaped our image in a positive way, putting Big D on a world stage...The Woodall Rogers Park will bridge a freeway and create a public commons for all of North Texas. To many, this was a pipe dream. But engineering and financial challenges are being met. The dirt is moving. Again, the Big D visionaries prevailed.
