Abstracts, planning materials, and related items documenting the history of

Collection
documents early street paving and widening in the City of Dallas,
Texas. Streets in Dallas were first paved in 1884, initially with
bois'd arc wood bricks. The first road in Dallas County paved in the
"macadam" fashion (crushed stone, gravel, and rolling) was Cedar
Springs Road in 1884. Paving was accomplished by numerous departments
and divisions until the process was consolidated under the Public Works
Department in 1931. Today new sidewalks are planned and executed by the
Engineering and Construction Services division of the Department of
Public Works. Repair and maintenance is performed by the Department of
Street Services. Collection contains field notes, cost estimates,
specifications, property owner cost assessments, abstracts, and
blueprints. One folder contains early ordinances and resolutions
regulating and authorizing street paving.
