• I-45 Corridor Airport - Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce

In the summer of 1990, Mr. Salcedo developed the concept of locating a major cargo airport in the Southeast corner of Dallas. The project evolved quickly, with strong community and business support, to reach the level of a project strongly considered by the City. The project received the support of Dallas, Lancaster, Ennis and other communities. The project was shelved when a major landfill was developed within a few miles of the site, creating a conflict the FAA could not approve. The fully developed project would have created 52,000 jobs and annual property tax receipts of $57 million and $2.2 billion in Gross Area Product, according to a 1993 report by Perryman Consultants of Waco.

Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce Recommendations

SGI provided a feasibility study of the proposed Oak Cliff Modern Streetcar system which was used to help obtain a $23,000,000 TIGER Grant from US DOT in 2010. The Feasibility Study developed a recommended alignment from DART's Union Station, across the Houston Street Viaduct, to Methodist Hospital and on to Bishop Arts District and Jefferson Boulevard. The Study developed conceptual costs for the alignment as well as recommendations on type of vehicle, typical right-of-way sections, discussion on the nature of construction on the Houston Street viaduct, possible Maintenance Facility location and layout, and phasing of construction. The Study was completed in November, 2008 and presented to the City of Dallas and NCTCOG. The study was the beginning of the successful effort to apply for and obtain a $23,000,000 TIGER Grant from the US Department of Transportation.
