🌱 Dallas Ranks In Cities With 'Unretirees' + New Pedestrian Bridge

Hello, friends! It's Tuesday in Dallas and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on all the most important things happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Cloudy. High: 86 Low: 71.

Here are the top three stories in Dallas today:

1. Former President George W. Bush observed a moment of silence on Monday at his presidential library in Dallas to mark the 22nd anniversary of the Sep. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that claimed 2,977 lives. Bush, who was president during the attacks, briefly joined museum guests at the George W. Bush Presidential Center for the solemn occasion. He expressed gratitude for the rescue efforts and paid tribute to the victims and their families before bowing his head for about 20 seconds during the moment of silence. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
2. A recent study by the Chamber of Commerce revealed that Dallas has the third-highest percentage of working seniors aged 65 and above in the United States. Approximately 30.3 percent of Dallas seniors, or over 44,300 individuals, continue to be employed out of a total senior population of 146,297. The study examined data from 170 of the most populous U.S. cities and suggests that factors like the cost of living and personal circumstances are contributing to a trend of seniors "unretiring" in the Dallas-Fort Worth workforce.

3. A new pedestrian bridge, the Northaven Trail Bridge, has been installed over U.S. Highway 75/Central Expressway in North Dallas, providing improved accessibility to scenic areas for cyclists, runners, and pedestrians. The bridge, supported by 64 steel cables, spans the freeway and connects the Northaven Trail on the west side to several trails on the east side, including White Rock Creek and Cottonwood Creek. While there is no specific opening date yet, a ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for mid to late October, and the $9.3 million project is primarily funded by the City of Dallas and Dallas County.
