\nI got to experience the DART rail for the first time yesterday.
\nI rode from Hampton Rd in Oak Cliff to Akard Street, where I met Mayor Barksdale, rode to Mockingbird for lunch, rode back to Akard Street and then rode all the way to the Irving Station (just south of D\/FW airport), and then back to Hampton Rd without ever getting in a car, sitting in traffic, or looking for parking.
\nIt was an enjoyable experience for $2.50.
\nDART is getting ready to upgrade<\/A> the rail system with extensions of service to Pleasant Grove, Carrolton and Las Colinas.
\nSo far, there have been $3.3 billion in improvements to areas neighboring DART’s rail stations.
\nThat’s a huge economic impact.
\nI’d love to see the day when I can hop a train from Waxahachie to Mesquite. Of course both cities will have to see a sales-tax increase and there are a number of other issues involved. But for now, I don’t mind hoping a bus in Glenn Hieghts and connecting to the vast network already in place.
\nI think in a week or two I’ll hop the train again with my bike and head over to White Rock Lake for a ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
