More than 300 out of 418 response submitted during an open call for concepts advocated repair or restoration of the building, designed by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei.

The call for concepts was in response to City Council directing City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert to pursue options to redevelop the City Hall site earlier this year.

Ahead of a Dallas City Council vote on the direction of City Hall, residents are speaking up about their opinions over the future of the building.
