Here are the top three stories today in Dallas:

1. Dallas County has lowered its threat level for COVID-19 from red to orange. The new designation stands for "extreme caution" compared to the previous designation of "high risk of transmission." The new threat level advises unvaccinated individuals to "avoid doing anything in public" while advising vaccinated individuals to follow guidelines issued by the CDC. (FOX 4 Dallas)
2. The new streetlight banners in Dallas feature artwork by Deep Ellum tattoo artists. The banners are hanging from streetlight poles in the Deep Ellum neighborhood and celebrate the long tradition of tattoo parlors throughout the neighborhood. This is the second time the Deep Ellum Foundation has featured tattoo artist work in the neighborhood. (CultureMap Dallas)
3. 29-year-old Dallas resident Latyeerra Latrice Andrews led Texas Department of Public Safety troopers on a seven-mile chase that resulted in her arrest. Andrews was going ninety miles per hour in a 75 miles per hour zone and was eventually stopped using spike strips east of Sulphur Springs. She is currently being held on $10,000 bail at the Hopkins County Jail. (KSST)
