Lake Highlands Station, DART's first infill station, also
opened December 6. The station is located on the Blue
Line in northeast Dallas between White Rock and
LBJ/Skillman stations. This station was originally approved
by the DART Board as part of the rail extension to Garland,
but was deferred until warranted by new development and
corresponding higher ridership. Lake Highlands Station is
being incorporated into the overall site design of the
adjacent Lake Highlands Town Center development. Ie
station will include areas for bus transfers and passenger
drop-off. Sidewalks, trails and streets in the Town Center
are being planned to provide linkages to and from the
station.
The DART Rail Orange Line will branch from the GreenDART President/Executive Director
Gary Thomas speaking at the Lake
Highlands Station opening on Dec. 6
High resolution JPGLine at Bachman Station to serve Irving and Las Colinas in 2012 and ultimately DFW Airport.
Service also will be extended from Garland to Rowlett in 2012. DART's current expansion programs
will grow the DART Rail System to 90 miles. Planning also continues for a Blue Line extension from
Ledbetter Station to the UNT Dallas campus as well as a second light rail alignment through
Downtown Dallas.
Customers of the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) who have been riding an express
bus to Downtown Dallas will be able to transfer to the Green Line at Trinity Mills Station. The DCTA's
A-Train is scheduled to open in summer 2011.Station art makes each stop unique
The new stations represent 15 additions to DART's
growing public art collection. Each station is designed to
reflect the surrounding community. While every station has
a platform, canopy, overhead power lines and tracks, each
station has a unique look. It's the result of months of
intense work involving community volunteers, DART staff
and a station artist. The art may be found in column
claddings, platform pavers, windscreens, landscaping and
fences like at Lawnview Station or a signature piece like
the way-finder monument at North Carrollton/Frankford
Station. Information about the entire DART pubic art
collection along with photos of many of the pieces is
available online at www.DART.org/PublicArt.47
