Deep Ellum Streets Set to Close at 10 p.m. on Weekends

Dallas Police have enacted ongoing street closures in Deep Ellum on Friday and Saturday nights, beginning at 10 p.m., to address rising crime rates and improve public safety.

These closures cover streets between Main and Indiana, and Good Latimer to Malcolm X, along with surrounding side streets. The measure aims to enhance safety and quality of life within the entertainment district. Some business owners support the initiative, while others worry about potential economic consequences.

The city also intends to bolster police presence in the area. Although these closures will remain in place indefinitely, adjustments may be made in response to ongoing safety evaluations.
