Dallas City Council is making clear its lack of support for a 75-foot tall high-speed railway track downtown.
Current renderings for the Dallas- Fort Worth high-speed train show a 75-foot tall track cutting Reunion Tower off from the rest of Downtown Dallas.at Wednesday’s council meeting. The resolution was requested by Mayor Pro Tem Tennell Atkins, chair of the Economic Development Committee, after the committee voiced disapproval for early designs of the train’s route and the lack of answers the city has received about financial impacts.
During a March 6 briefing on the train, Dallas council members requested an economic impact survey on the rail line that the city has yet to produce.that a survey of the train’s fiscal impact on Dallas could take as many as three months to put together, and an evaluation of the region-wide impact will be available sometime in the fall.
“You’d get off the train and move seventeen stories. That’s still an alternative. I don’t think it’s a very good alternative.” — Michael Morris, NCTCOG Director of TransportationThat “one-seat” goal, NCTCOG says, makes it necessary for the train’s path to travel above ground through West Dallas and Downtown Dallas before turning south to the Cedars.
