The Dallas City Council Wednesday approved a proposal to continue with the building of a second light-rail alignment going through downtown Dallas, also known as D2.
The council also said it would support Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) in obtaining a Federal Transit Administration grant to help fund the project. The cost estimate for the subway and light rail is $1.7 billion, with up to 50% potentially funded with a federal grant, according to an article on the WFAA website.
D2 has been in the works since 2007. The planned route would include three subway stations and two above-ground stations with service on the green and orange lines.
Originally scheduled for completion in 2024, the project is now on track to be built sometime after 2022 and fully operational in 2028, pending Dallas City Council and DART board approvals, the article stated.
