I just recieved in the mail.. a DART The Link newsletter. It shows the LRT lines that DART is considering for the future. This is news because? They are different (in varying degrees) from the ones NCTCOG proposed. Also, it's official DART stuff. Anyways.. here are the proposed alignments.
DNT: From DNT southern terminus downtown, breaks off to go underneath Addison Airport, resurfaces, continues along DNT ROW into Frisco.
Gaston: From Baylor north towards the southern point of White Rock Lake.
Northern Loop 12: From Bachman Lake to White Rock where it goes off Loop 12 ROW and goes down Military Pkwy(?). There isn't a name on the street, so I really can't tell. the major street just south of Kingsley.
Blue Line: Continues north into Rowlett and across Lake Ray Hubbard into Fate, continues south where it meets up with the South Dallas/Red Oak/Waxahachie line
I-635: Along LBJ ROW From the DNT line to the Blue line at LBJ/Skillman Station.
Richardson/FND/Plano (Crosstown Corridor?): from LBJ/Skillman on the Ble line north to Arapaho Center on the red line, curves around and goes along 190 ROW, then goes down Rosemeade to meet up with Irving/Carrollton/Plano/Frisco line.
Irving/Carrollton/Plano/Frisco: goes from South Irving Station along the TRE north to the Carrollton Square station where it intsersects with the Orange and Cottonbelt lines, then makes a T-intersection with the terminus of the Richardson/FND/Plano (Crosstown Corridor) line at Rosemeade, then goes up to Frisco.
Cottonbelt: Goes from North DFW to Carrollton Square, then goes to Addison Circle, then gradually goes north to where it intersects with the Bush Turnpike Red Line sstation, then goes to Wylie.
Wylie/Garland: Follows Lavon Road from Wylie to Downtown Garland.
DFW Airport Circulator: Not really a circulator.. but it goes from the terminus of the cottonbelt LRT line south all the way through the airport, then exits near walnut hill, then curves up and meets the purple line where 114 breaks off with NW Highway.
Purple Line: Continues from the currently planned terminus at northern DFW airport to the tarrant county line.
Orange Line: Continues north to Denton, continues south to I-635.
Red Line: Continues north to McKinney, continues south to cedar hill/midlothian. On the way, intersects with southern Loop 12 line.
Southern Loop 12: from the red line's intersection with it near Dallas Executive along Loop 12 ROW to Buckner Station along the orange line.
South Dallas/Red Oak/Waxahachie: goes from cedars station down beside I-45, then appears to take up where the blue line cuts off along 342 (the lines join) and goes through Red Oak and Waxahachie.
SH-180 line: Goes along 180 from downtown into cockrell hill along davis, then over to GP, arlington, and fort worth. Joins with the Singleton line.
Singleton line: starts in downtown, goes alng singleton, cuts down to the I-30 Loop 12 interchange, then joins up with the SH-180 line. to the east, it goes through fair park, then east kinda near US 80.
Scyenne line: breaks off from orange line at lawnview, goes along scyenne road east to a little east of belt line.
That's 18 rail lines, and 19 with the TRE included!
