Far North Dallas residents feel railroaded by DART Cotton Belt project

A Dallas City Council resolution passed in March 2018 states that the city would only support the Cotton Belt line if a continuous 15-foot high, sound-absorbing wall would be built along all the homes on both sides of the rail line. It’s unclear if DART is legally bound to that resolution or not.
“In approaching 200 residents, we found only five had awareness of the meetings,” he said.
A DART spokesman said on Tuesday that they are now planning additional meetings that will begin June 11.
“All of a sudden, people are really interested in knowing exactly what's going on,” said Gordon Shattles with DART.
And more people will be invited to the June meetings will determine what if any wall residents will get along certain sections of the rail.
