Harry Hines Boulevard is a major street in Dallas, Texas, (USA), to the west of Uptown.
It was one of the first 'highways' in Texas, and is named for Harry Hines in honor of his work helping to get roads paved in this part of the state. Harry Hines served on the Texas Highway Commission from February 15, 1935, to April 11, 1941, and for the first two years as its chairman according to the records at the Texas Department of Transportation.{{Cite web |url=http://www.dallashistory.org/cgi-bin/webbbs_config.pl?noframes;read=1881 |title=Dallas History Society - Harry Hines |access-date=2007-12-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070306220606/http://www.dallashistory.org/cgi-bin/webbbs_config.pl?noframes |archive-date=2007-03-06 |url-status=dead }}

Loop 354 was designated on September 19, 1961, from Interstate 35E (I-35E) to Saner Avenue and I-35E in Downtown Dallas. The highway traversed old sections of U.S. Route 67 (US 67), US 77, and US 80, and was signed as US 67 Business (US 67 Bus.), US 77 Bus., and US 80 Bus., according to which one it was the old route of. On June 25, 1991, the section of Loop 354 from Saner Avenue to Loop 12 was cancelled and removed from the state highway system, as that section of Loop 354, as well as Loop 260, were given to the city of Dallas.
