Cotton
Belt Update
|
Presentations
at
the
December
11th
DART
Board
Meeting
reflected
the
projected
cost of
$27M
that
would be
needed
to
double-track
the rail
line
through
North
Dallas.
What
drives
part of
that
cost is
terrain
through
the
North
Dallas
area
where
grade
changes
and
bridges
require
special
attention
(from
Knoll
Trail to
Coit).
Currently,
DART
plans to
run
trains
every 30
minutes.
Double
tracking
would
allow
operations
to occur
every 20
minutes.
The DART
Board
also
approved
Archer
Western
Herzog’s
bid to
serve as
the
primary
construction
contractor.
The
Federal
loan
(RRIF
loan)
DART has
requested
to
finance
the
construction
is
progressing
and is scheduled
to be
finalized
sometime
between
the 20th
and 28th
of
December.
Many of
the
noise,
vibration,
and
safety
concerns
Sandy
Greyson,
the City
of
Dallas,
and our
Cottonbelt
Concerned
Citizens
Coalition
have
advocated
are
included
in the
mitigation
plans.
Those
items
include
such
things
as
15-foot-high
sound-blocking
walls,
special
absorption
measures
(to
minimize
vibration),
double-gating
at
crossings
(to
protect
children/pedestrians
at
crossings),
directional
bells,
etc.

want to
learn
more
details,

Belt
section)

two useful URLs.
The first one lists
upcoming street repaving.
http://dallascityhall.com/departments/public-works/Pages/pavement-management.aspx
The next one is a bit
harder to use/follow, but it covers the proposed
alley work.

The alleys were the ones identified in the 2017 bond
package.
