This report describes the transportation and environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures associated with the construction and operation of a proposed, 9.3 mile, double-tracked Light Rail Transit (LRT) line from a junction with the Farmers Branch / Carrollton Line north of Bachman Station to the vicinity of Belt Line Road and Valley View Lane in Irving. An evaluation of the planned extension of this line to the Central Terminal Area of DFW International Airport (DFWIA) is not included in this report, pending DFWIA guidance. Because the line would connect to DFWIA, the Federal Aviation Administration cooperated in the development of this report. This Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was written following the completion of a Draft EIS and subsequent 45-day public review and comment period and it includes responses to concerns raised during that period.

This report describes the transportation and environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures associated with the construction and operation of a proposed Light Rail Transit Line from downtown Dallas to Farmers Branch and Carrollton. This project in DART's Southeast Corridor has been combined with the contemporaneous plan for an LRT line in the Northwest Corridor into a single, federally funded project, although separate Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) were prepared for each corridor. This Final EIS for the Northwest Corridor was written following the completion of a Draft EIS and subsequent 45-day public review and comment period and it includes responses to concerns raised during that period. Because the line would connect to Dallas Love Field Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration cooperated in the development of this report.
