Southeast Corridor Light Rail Transit in Dallas County, Texas: Final Environmental Impact Statement and Section 4(f) 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 (LRT) line from downtown Dallas to Buckner Boulevard.

This Final EIS for the Southeast 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.
