Here are the top three stories in Dallas today:

1. The Dallas City Council has voted to allow public electric scooters downtown once again. The ordinance was amended this week to allow the electric devices to once again operate but with safety, parking, and speed limit requirements. The council included a severability clause in the amendment in case the city grows to regret the decision. (WFAA.com)
2. The Dallas City Council will try to tackle redistricting on Monday during a special meeting. The council has been working to approve a redistricting map but has failed multiple times. The map will require 12 votes to be approved. If the council is not able to vote on a map by next Wednesday, then the map that was presented in May will be adopted by default. (The Dallas Morning News)
3. Delta Airlines has won the right to operate at Dallas Love Field for another six years. The airline entered into a settlement agreement with the Dallas City Council this week after a long argument with Southwest Airlines. Dallas Love Field's gates are routinely fought over since the airport is often viewed more favorably by travelers compared to the DFW Airport. (Longview News-Journal)

Are you a Dallas resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Dallas Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
