Why Dallas LOOP trail’s Victory-Design District link stalled out despite City Council OK | Grigsby
The Hi Line Connector work is at the courthouse, not the construction site, as a contractor cries foul.
The only work being done is in the courthouse as Dallas fights a lawsuit brought by a contractor who believes he — not the company council ultimately selected — deserved to get the deal. I can’t say with certainty which side is right; that likely will be settled in the courtroom where all the facts can be examined side by side.
While the other connectors are mostly built in green spaces and floodplain corridors, Hi Line demands a special blend of engineering and traffic solutions to navigate one of the city’s densest urban neighborhoods and traverse under Interstate 35E.

Bottom: Rendering of the same area with the Hi Line Connector running through the median.
Council member Paul Ridley, whose district includes the Hi Line Connector, moved for a 30-day delay and a directive for staff to take another look. When the construction bids arrived in December, the park department asked the conservancy’s design consultant, SWA, to help evaluate them. The city says that’s standard practice in public-private partnerships and followed the process of a previous connector project, the Trinity Forest Spine Trail.
In response, the majority of City Council agreed the park department and city attorney’s office had already gone far beyond the extra mile. They voted no to Ridley’s request for a delay and then approved giving the project to the Fain Group.). A reasonable assessment is the disagreement boiled down to a key word within the decision-making parameters, “lowestGadberry told the council that day that the rules shifted on him and weren’t properly explained.
“The city exercised its lawful authority under state law to reject Gadberry’s bid for lack of qualifications and awarded the contract to Fain,” Jenkins said in response to my questions.
