This new light rail line will expand DART's rail service from Downtown Dallas through Northwest
Dallas, including the Medical Center and Love Field areas and into Farmers Branch and Carrollton.
The public meeting will review a new Northwest Corridor alignment option serving the Medical
Center area. It will also cover engineering plans, station layouts and site options for a DART Transit
Operations Facility to store and maintain rail vehicles.
DART has been conducting public meetings as part of its two-year planning process for the line. The
17.5-mile Northwest line will run from downtown Dallas north along Harry Hines Boulevard and the
former Union Pacific Railroad through Dallas and Farmers Branch to Frankford Road in Carrollton.
Service to Farmers Branch and Carrollton is scheduled to begin in 2008.
