080 - Philip Haigh: Mobility, Green Space, and Connecting Dallas to Dallas

Jun 10

Philip Haigh, Executive Director of The Loop Dallas, joins the podcast to talk about the ambitious effort to connect Dallas through a 50-mile trail network. From discovering the bike-friendly culture of Oak Cliff to leading one of the city's most transformative public space projects, Philip shares how trails can change the way people experience their neighborhoods and their city.

The conversation explores the future of transportation in Dallas, the hidden green spaces many residents never realize exist, and the vision behind connecting landmarks like White Rock Lake, the Trinity River Audubon Center, and communities across the city. Along the way, Philip discusses Parkdale Lake, the challenges of building urban trails, and why creating more ways to move through Dallas might shape the city's next chapter.
