DART Approves Funding for Belt Line Road 1.5 Beautification Project

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Board of Directors approved interlocal agreements to fund street repair projects for four service area cities at their Tuesday, January 14 meeting, including one in Addison.

Board members voted unanimously to fund $441,519 to assist with street repair improvements on Belt Line Road between Marsh Lane and Midway Road, including completing sidewalk gaps and adding additional bus shelters at select DART stops along the corridor. When complete, all bus stops will include seating, accessible paving, and trash receptacles.

DART's Street Repair Policy was approved in 1994 to assist service area cities with needed repairs. That policy was amended in 1997 to develop a street repair process to select projects for consideration based on budgets and DART's Twenty-Year Financial Plan.
