New western route around downtown Dallas proposed for high-speed rail project

The alternative route comes after the Dallas council last month said it didn’t want any new elevated rail in downtown.

Leaders from North Texas cities urged the city of Dallas on Thursday for clarity on the completion date of an economic impact study connected to a proposed high-speed rail project between Fort Worth and Dallas.

The city of Dallas said it would not decide which route it supports until after the city completes an economic impact study in coordination with Fort Worth and Arlington on the expected benefits of the high-speed rail. But at Thursday’s workshop, Dallas City councilmembers in attendance were unable to provide a timeline for when the economic impact study, which is needed to decide support for a route, would be complete.
