​​​​​​​​​FIFA Worl​​d Cup™ Mobility options​

Page Content

As visitors and residents alike travel around Downtown Dallas, to Fair Park, and to Arlington to participate in the FIFA World Cup™​ festivities, the City of Dallas Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW) has been hard at work to enhance connectivity and accessibility to help people travel via biking, walking, and micromobility. This webpage summarizes the special efforts going on this summer.  ​

For more information about vehicular traffic and road closures, please visit Road Traffic Updates.​

​Mobility Lanes

TPW has established “preferred routes" featuring temporary quick build bike lane elements and roadway safety upgrades to increase walkability and bikeability in Downtown Dallas to connect to EBJ Union Station, Klyde Warren Park, the Dallas Farmers Market, and Fair Park. These quick build elements are currently under construction, but the routes remain available for use.

The following routes help to connect existing bike lane infrastructure and special event activations during this summer:

North/South Route 

This route uses combination of dedicated bike lanes and shared lanes, connecting the existing bike lanes on Harwood St to Klyde Warren Park. Northbound traffic will use Olive Street between Pacific Ave and Flora St, then reconnect to Harwood St via Flora St to reach Klyde Warren Park with a block-long two-way cycle track. Southbound riders from Klyde Warren Park will use Harwood Street for the entirety of the segment. Existing directional bike lanes connect this special project to the Farmer's Market.​

​East/West Route  This route uses a combination of dedicated bike lanes and traffic calming features through shared spaces to connect Main Street from Houston St to the Santa Fe Trail. This route passes through the Better Block/Downtown Dallas Inc Activate Main Street project and through Deep Ellum​. The route then uses the Santa Fe Trail spur to connect to Fan Fest at Fair Park, leading users down Perry Ave and into Fair Park to use 2nd St​reet as a biking/scooting space to connect to Fan Fest at Dos Equis Pavillion.

​​Now Available! 10 bike racks have been installed in Lot 8 of Fair Park next to Dos Equis Pavillion to allow for cyclists to securely park their bikes while visiti​ng FIFA Fan Fest.

Special Temporary Zone Amendment (now expired)

To support safe, comfortable travel to Fan Fest, dockless vehicles were temporarily be permitted to use the Santa Fe Trail Spur between Elm St and Parry Ave. The vehicles were be limited to 10 mph and were not be able to be parked along the trail. Signage directed users that they may ​​not proceed northbound on the trail, and existing no-ride-zones prevented the scooter from functioning in those unauthorized zones. This provision was in place for the duration of Fan Fest from 6/11 to 7/19.​ View the section of the Santa Fe Trail in a PDF map: Mobility La​nes, Existing Bike Infrastructure, and Micromobility Parking Areas Map.​​​​
