Tunnel - N. Dallas area?

[mchong75]

Does anyone know a local place in the N. Dallas area with a tunnel? (Just for pedestrians)?

[ggeen]

I don't know of any in north Dallas. There are some pedestrian tunnels downtown Dallas near the end of the DART Rail.

The first thing that came to mind was Sprint Valley at 75 but that is for automobile traffic.

Forget all that, just did quick google search.

The Fountain Place apparently has a pedestrian tunnel.

Fountain Place
Address: 1445 Ross Avenue
Dallas, Texas 75202
Submarket: Dallas, Central Business District
Location: Fountain Place is a downtown landmark, located on the highly accessible and visible northern edge of Dallas' central business district. With direct access to Woodall Rodgers Freeway and the Dallas North Tollway, Fountain Place is minutes from all major highways, Love Field and DFW International Airport. Pedestrian tunnels connect to The Fairmont Hotel and other downtown office buildings while the West End Historic District and Dallas Arts District are just two blocks away

I don't think that the pedestrian tunnels that run under downtown CBD are photographer friendly plus they probably wouldn't have the grunge/tunnel look that he wants. Tile walls and shops scattered along them.

Now there is a tollroad that runs under the Airport in Addison (east west) but not sure how pedestrian friendly it is.

Really there are no real tunnels in the DFW area other than the Supercollider tunnel ( Govt Property so NO ACCESS I believe) and some old Rail Road Tunnels under downtown that are very hard to get access too since they have been abandoned over 50 years ago-I believe the Observor had a reporter go into them around 6 or so years ago and wrote a story while also talking about several creeks that were put underground by the city.

Several Years ago there was the Good Lattimer Tunnel but DART destroyed that and left some bad art in its place.

There are tons of them, especially just South of Downtown

One is on Cadiz St just West of Lamar. It is a car and pedisterian tunnel.

Several streets that run North and South from downtown have short tunnels. South Ervay, Cesar Chavez, Blvd.

There is a pedisterian tunnel on Brookhaven Community College campus. It is on the southside of the walking/running track around the campus very near the main road entrance on Valley View lane.

There is another one in McKinney, under the intersection of Virginia Parkway and Stonebridge Dr.

I know there are others. Can't think of them right now.

The on Cadiz should be guaranteed to have graffiti.
