There are insufficient sidewalks and street lighting in the Dallas Market Center area. Pedestrians are at serious risk of injury or death.The city needs to add street lighting and the hotels need to have sidewalks. It's time to prioritize pedestrian safety.

I honestly cannot believe how many people are seeing this and feeling the same frustration about walking near the Market Center at night.

I agree with your tweet today. The hotels in this area thriving from Market Center attendance should provide sidewalks when they promote "within walking distance."

My comany attends the Lighting Show twice yearly. Tons of people walk between the DMC and between hotels after hours and the area is dangerously underlit. Plus there should be mor sidewalks guiding people to the crosswalk.

On January 14, 2015, we lost a wonderful father, husband, papa, and friend. He was one of the any pedestrians struck and killed in Stemmons Corridor due to the lack of lighting and pedestrian crosswalk areas. We hope and pray that this petition raises awareness to this safety concern and protects other innocent victims. Forever with is and in our hearts!! We love you Dad!

Approximately 375,000 people visit the Dallas Market Center campus each year. The walking area surrounding the DMC needs street lights for safety. The full economic impact of DMC activities on the Dallas area is $1.2 Billion. Do something to keep your visitors safe!

The Dallas Market Center Area is dangerous due to no street lighting. Besides pedestrian deaths, street lighting would help prevent muggings in the area. It's a little daunting walking under the dark bridge to get back and forth from the hotels to the market.

Shame on Trammel Crow for not improving their neighborhood for pedestrians.
