Here's That New LBJ Express Video We Promised. Well, Part of It, Anyway.

Couple of days back, in this poorly written item, we looked at LBJ Infrastructure Group's proposed change to the design for the LBJ Express -- at least the section of sunken managed toll lanes originally designed to run beneath the Dallas North Tollway. Spokesman Andy Rittler also noted a new video of the project was forthcoming, after it made its bow at last night's public meeting. So here it is -- an excerpt, at least, featuring the new-look LBJ-Dallas North Tollway meet-up.

And speaking of the LBJ Express: I was just invited to attend one "final walk over" the Joe Ratliff Pedestrian Walkway Saturday night, from 7 to 9 p.m., in advance of its Sunday shutdown. Say this for us native Northwest Dallasites: We're a proudly nostalgic lot, and we know how (and where) to party.
