Dallas Area Rapid Transit opens two new lines
It seems clear that the consensus in Dallas is that lightrail lines are important to the economic development of the area. If there are wrong the funds to support it will be an anchor that drags them down. If they are right they will not only improve their own economic situation but also win over surrounding cities in the competition for new businesses, especially cities that neglect their own rapid transit.

Houston’s METRORail has a long way to catch up with DART. Congratulations, Dallas, on your extensive light rail expansion.
I remember back in the 80’s when the rail lines were all first proposed. Texas usually measured driving distance by the number of beers it took to get from point A to point B. Then the McKinney ave trolley started up http://www.mata.org/ and they found that users parked their vehicles and rode the trolley between point A and point B in that neighborhood. That created the push along with the fact that they realized they could not keep building more interstates because there was no room. As soon as they started to look at routes then all the communities jumped on the bandwagon wanting rail in their neighborhood because growth followed.
I think that light rail to DFW will be great.I have not travled very much by air and know of only 2 other places.San Francisco,Bart to SFO and the soon to be opened Salt Lake City,UTA to SLC.Maybe Portland OR,I dont know.Bringing conections air to rail is a very good thing.
so many duplicate comments, all because Kalmbach’s site is so-o-o-o s-l-o-wwwww! it often takes a full minute to receive the ‘comment successfully submitted’ message. now - if they could only invent a marynovitch filter.
