Should commuter rail plans for North Texas come through, counties across the region may see a variety of developments crop up along rail routes and at passenger stops in the future.
Regional rail will attract different types of developments than Fort Worth’s proposed streetcar system would, but in order to maintain any kind of transportation-oriented development, North Texas will have to have a seamless mobility system, area transportation officials say.
The Rail North Texas project is a 250-mile spread of commuter rail lines running through six counties. The lines are planned to take riders to areas including Cleburne, Richardson, Irving, Frisco, McKinney, Dallas, Fort Worth, Waxahachie, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and the Texas Motor Speedway.
Development oriented toward regional rail stops likely includes both small- and large-scale projects, said Fort Worth City Council member Jungus Jordan. Large-scale projects could include corporate, retail or residential developments. Retail shopping centers in larger developments would likely include grocery stores, Jordan said. Smaller developments could include those with coffee shops, dry cleaners, restaurants and convenience stores.
“What would be developed at each railroad station would be a microcosm of the community,” said Jordan, who represents District 6. “You’re not necessarily going to have a Mockingbird Station at every stop. It will be a situation where this is where I live, this is where I want to pick up my essentials and groceries. This is where I want to eat. It would allow me to live along the rail station for convenience and economic reasons.”
Two rail stations are planned for Jordan’s District 6, one at Interstate Highway 820 and Granbury Road, and another at Sycamore School Road.
