Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI): DART Orange Line DFW Airport Extension IRVING-3 (open access)

Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI): DART Orange Line DFW Airport Extension IRVING-3

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in coordination with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), produced an analysis of the potential impact, to the environment and to the airport, of extending a DART line to the DFW Airport Central Terminal Area. The FAA's approval was needed for any change to an airport layout plan (ALP) and its report primarily deals with the effect of the extension on the airport. While there was determined to be no significant impact of the proposed extension, it would be necessary to relocate weather alert devises.

Green Line Before and After Study Plan (Revised) (open access)

Green Line Before and After Study Plan (Revised)

This document represents a proposed outline for conducting a Before and After Study of the DART Green Line, a major extension of DART's light rail transit (LRT) system.

Northwest Corridor Light Rail Transit Line to Farmers Branch and Carrollton, Dallas and Denton County, Texas: Final Environmental Impact Statement (open access)

Northwest Corridor Light Rail Transit Line to Farmers Branch and Carrollton, Dallas and Denton County, Texas: Final Environmental Impact Statement

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.
