Cedar Springs Road

The road's southern end is at North Field Street near the Victory Park neighborhood just north of Downtown Dallas. It travels northeast for two blocks, turning directly north at Akard Street while also becoming one-way northbound for two blocks past this. At Olive Street, it becomes two-way again, and leaves the downtown area for Uptown Dallas. It then passes under the Katy Trail, over Turtle Creek, and Turtle Creek Boulevard joins it about a block north from there. The two streets run multiplexed for two blocks on the west side of the creek, then split. Turtle Creek Boulevard continues north-northeast, while Cedar Springs Road turns northwest at Bowen Street. From here, the road runs through one of the financial cores of Dallas, and intersects with Oak Lawn Avenue. The road then cuts through the Oak Lawn neighborhood, and intersects with Wycliff Avenue. The road then crosses over the Dallas North Tollway. Farther northwest, the road intersects with Inwood Road and a few shopping centers. The road finally intersects with Mockingbird Lane and widens to six lanes, where it approaches the terminal at Dallas Love Field and its termination point.^[5] The portion north of Mockingbird leading to the airport terminal was renamed Herb Kelleher Way in 2014 in honor of the founder of Southwest Airlines.^[6]

William Grigsby, a veteran of the Texas Revolution, sold 320 acres to John Cole in 1846 for $1 per acre. Cole built a store and other businesses on the property and established his medical practice. The community became known as Cedar Springs for its free flowing springs and cedar tree grove. It became a part of Dallas County that same year.^[7]

On Memorial Day 2014, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., 1.25 miles of Cedar Springs Road was blocked off, along with parts of Routh Street and Harwood Street to create a ciclovía, a pedestrian-only road.^[8]
