As a result of a collaborative effort between the City of Dallas, the North Central Texas Council of Governments, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Dallas Area Rapid Transit, a Streetcar alignment is returning to Oak Cliff! Designed to connect commuters from the Oak Cliff area into downtown near Union Station, the new Streetcar will allow access to the DART rail system’s red, blue and g
reen lines as well as to Fort Worth via the Trinity Railway Express. The first phase of the alignment will begin near Union Station in downtown Dallas, cross the Houston Street Viaduct and then transition to Zang Boulevard, turn onto Colorado Boulevard and finally terminate at a stop near Methodist Dallas Medical Center at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Beckley Avenue. Initial construction of the streetcar along the Houston Street Viaduct began in early 2013 and is expected to be complete in October 2014.
