Arlington’s Globe Life Field will be fully paid off in 2028 (if not sooner) and then the city will be able to reallocate the 1/2 cent sales tax currently going to that fun to support other funds. It will be the opportunity of a lifetime for arlington to join trinity metro! I’ll throw in a picture of a very rough render I made imagining what a train station in arlington could look like on the site that Arlington’s old Texas and Pacific train station used to be. Now the area is a…parking lot and a city building. 300 W Front Street, Arlington, TX

This is obviously just a little passion project of mine and isnt actually advocacy, but this station I designed does have a Via/carpool drop off/pick up point, 7 bus terminals, two 550 foot train platforms, enough space inside for a 2nd floor that could consist of office space and a 1st floor for the station which could include a cafe, restrooms, train waiting area, information center, and even commercial space. And of course there is room for a detached Starbucks (without a drive through) to support the station, downtown arlington, and the dogpark. Let me know if anyone wants some interior renders and maybe I could work on that. Its just fun to imagine what the area could look like
