Some say Dallas could catch up on infrastructure by building on Sundays. Others say it's the Lord's day and that shouldn't change.
In Dallas, it can take up to 42 days to get a permit for building single-family developments.On Sundays in Dallas, you shouldn’t hear the loud clanking of jackhammers, electric saws and welding machines sounding from nearby construction sites. That’s how the city code is written now, but that could change.
City Council member Cara Mendelsohn, chair of the committee, said the topic came up while discussing upcoming work on DART’s Silver Line Regional Rail Project. In those meetings, Mendelsohn said, they were discussing construction work for the project that would have to take place over the weekend. Although it’s not expressly permitted in the city code, the Dallas’ Department of Public Works said it does allow constructions on Sundays when it’s necessary.For example, if a crew is called to do a street repair on Saturday that requires another day’s work, they might be authorized to finish on Sunday. This way, they don’t add traffic delays during rush hour the following Monday.
Willis said she might not have a problem with Sunday being an exception for some construction work, but making it the norm may be too big of a burden on residents.
