Good Space Bulletin Board Good Space welcomes Bolsa Restaurant. Five years ago no one could have imagined the most talked-about eatery south of downtown opening in the location of a ragtag auto-body shop. Bolsa's July 2008 opening completed Good Space's transformation of Settles Garage into a mixed-use venue. Bolsa's Austin-esque combination of ruggedness and refinement goes great with the building's renovation – xeriscaping and sangria, recycled concrete and homemade honey, exposed trusses and oven-fired flatbread. Bolsa is a collaboration between a pair of young Cliffdwellers and North-Dallas restaurant maven Royce Ring. Open-up zoning and let the redevelopment begin! Joined by fellow urban developers Alan McDonald and Rick Garza, Good Space has funded a land-use study of the Bishop Avenue and Davis Street corridors as a precursor to form-based zoning surrounding the Bishop Arts District. Led by Larry Good of Good Fulton & Farrell, the study will translate the aspirations of adjacent neighborhoods into development guidelines that promote walkability, mixed uses, human-scaled buildings, and historic preservation. Councilwoman Elba Garcia pledged passage of the new zoning ordinance before she leaves office in mid-2009. Bishop Avenue to get public art and landscaped medians. Good Space's lobbying for local bond financing will pay dividends in the summer of 2009 when Oak Cliff artist Art Garcia is scheduled to install a streetcar-inspired public sculpture in the pocket park at Bishop and Davis. Good Space also helped win funding for the conversion of North Bishop into a landscaped boulevard, a $3.7 million project included in the 2006 bond election. David Spence to write column for Oak Cliff People. With their exciting expansion south of downtown, People Newspapers has tapped Good Space owner David Spence to contribute a monthly editorial on local topics. Good Space Co-Sponsors Mural Arts Program. During 2004 and 2005, Good Space joined forces with the Dallas Museum of Art to install eight murals created by teenage artists in the Bishop Arts District. The students designed murals to commemorate historical aspects of the neighborhood, and then spent six weeks on scaffolding transforming blank brick walls into works of public art. The Dallas Morning News called the program one of the "Top Ten Arts Events" of the year. Good Space collects pair of awards. In 2005 Good Space collected its second award from Preservation Dallas for the restoration of Bishop Gate, a 1926 residential hotel reborn as an eight-unit apartment complex. In 2004, the City of Dallas selected Bishop Green Apartments for its 2004 Xeriscape Award. The one-third acre grounds of Bishop Green, entirely landscaped with low-water native plants, was the site for the City's televised kick-off to its water-conservation campaign.
