Carrollton officials have concerns with second DART station
A second Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) light-rail station in Downtown Carrollton hit a bump in the tracks, as Carrollton City Council members voiced concerns over the project during Tuesday’s council meeting.
Several council members questioned a proposed 6-foot barrier, when compared to the industry standard 42-inch fence. Council members also questioned DART representatives over the future use of a vintage train along the proposed Silver Line.
The proposed passenger terminal for the Silver Line would be on 7.7 acres in the Downtown Transit Center District along Denton Drive, 450 feet north of Belt Line Road. DART’s Green Line has three stations in Carrollton – Trinity Mills, North Carrollton/Frankford Road and Downtown Carrollton. The new station would be the Downtown Carrollton Silver Line Station.
Councilman Steve Babick addressed the future use of the nearby vintage train, asking if the Silver Line’s design would accommodate the vintage train.
