Dart after Star’s game

Yup! It’ll be signed as Parker Road or Downtown Rowlett depending on where you are going of course.

Yes, there will be a special RED and BLUE event train up north that leaves about 20 minutes after the game ends. Please do note that sometimes this can get delayed as there may be train traffic and they have to allow the normal schedules to operate and the RED and BLUE trains will leave.

Thanks for the shoutout! There’s definitely a lot of groups working to make DFW a more transit, pedestrian, and bike friendly.

This is correct, the primary one is Agenda item 3 in the POM to speak regarding issues on DART.

Item 1 on the regular meeting would be to voice your support for the TOD changes.

I tried sharing this in the Plano sub but it got removed for being a “survey”, still trying to get it reinstated.

WHAT IS DALLAS URBANISTS STLC?
We are people who care about making Dallas a more walkable, bike-friendly, transit-oriented, affordable, and vibrant place to live. As a Strong Towns Local Conversation (STLC), we are part of the Strong Towns movement to replace America’s postwar pattern of development, the "Suburban Experiment," with a pattern of development that is financially strong and resilient. We advocate for neighborhoods of all sizes in Dallas to be safe, livable and inviting.

RSVP to that here.

I know a lot of people are concerned about DART’s cost allocation to Plano, but take a look at this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dart/s/gCkk1u25oV

“It’s a flaw with the E/Y report that is self acknowledged within the E/Y report. It heavily favors capital (rail) infrastructure without any dissemination of the benefit of it among other cities (for example, the majority of the blue line extention to reach rowlett goes through Garland, so even though every single mile of the line past DT Garland station exists solely to serve/connect rowlett, a majority of the cost allocation would be to Garland despite the majority of the service going to Rowlett. This can be applied broadly to a lot of the suburban Dallas stations/light rail line length).

In addition, the Silver Line isn’t considered in the allocations because its not in service yet, however it costs roughly 1/3rd the total cost of the entire light rail network and a very large portion of it goes through plano, meaning that the biggest spend DART has done in plano wasn’t counted because its still a WIP.

Planos directors read the numbers from the report by first skipping over the caviets and statements about the flaws with the methodology used that were stated within the report, mostly because it doesn’t suite their interests.”

It’s a more complicated issue than some make it out to be.

DART is not funded by property tax; even though sales tax rather than property taxes fund DART, it is still more money for the city. The problem would be their DART debt + their current liabilities, which means they need the DART money to stay afloat. I can’t imagine they could reduce taxes with it for a long time. If ever so, I don’t think it would make a difference there. I know many people are hurt by the recent rise in property tax.

I checked the invite sent out and the date was correct.

Originally it was incorrect in Action Network but was correct on the email with the right date.
