Victory/American Airlines Ctr stop, Parking near DART

[vfib]

I guess it saves money to only stop by the AAC during events, but that station would be a nice way for people living at the Jefferson and others nearby to use the rail. I have a couple of friends there that work at Parkland that would be able to just take the TRE to the hospital. I guess that would add another stop along the lengthy trip from Union Station to downtown Ft Worth. Also, I do not know if the parkling lots around the AAC are available when there are no events going on, but that would allow for people to park and take the TRE to DFW or Ft Worth.

I am interested in knowing which stations have adequate (usually not full) parking lots or (legal) places to park on the street since I do not live near a DART station. Also, are there problems w/ break ins or car vandalism at some of these lots? I would prefer not to pay for parking at Cityplace or downtown while trying to catch the DART.

Thanks,
Andy

I imagine once the light rail portion is open, Victory will be a regular stop. I've parked at the AAC before just to walk around and take pics. I never had any problem at all. Don't know how that will work with light rail though as it could run into some AAC events. Perhaps a Park Ln type garage could be built.

As for breakins, I've never had or heard of much trouble with it. There was that Garland lady who claimed to be kidnapped from the DT Garland Park and Ride. Turned out she abducted herself.

Hahaha, its Johnny Depp.

If you ever even go near a DART station, you'll notice a whole bunch of DART Transit cops driving around. Everywhere. I saw five last night at Mockingbird Station, and there are always like 20 rummaging around downtown on a regular basis..
