Come on people, you brought a house next to the tracks...Would you rather they reactivate the track for freight? Believe me light rail dart is much quieter and runs on electricity not emmisions from fuel.
The PROBLEM, actually, is that they are afraid of "the people" on the rail lines -- they don't want the people who USE the rails, in their neighborhoods. That's just point blank, what it is.
When DART completed its light rail through Richardson, car thefts and burglaries where I used to work went from 0 per day to up to 5 or more per day. Even my vehicle got burgled. The train is used for window shopping. They get off at the next station, gank a car, hit the freeway, drop off the car and do it all over again.
@@MFXdump Okay, but that happens literally all over the DFW area. I've had my car robbed in Highland Park, I've had it robbed at Northpark Mall, I've had my window bashed out in Uptown. It can happen anywhere and everywhere, and does. The DART does allow the movement of people to areas they may not have had access to before, so sure, thefts will go up. If you had 0% theft for a long time, you just got lucky. Expect more thefts in the future, because they're still gonna build the rail line.
Let me make myself clear. Even though that the railroad with the older crossing devices is abandoned or retired, the biggest complaint that those neighbors are gonna get, is the horns, and causing them to turn into yet another freaking quiet zone. I mean come on, if y’all don’t want to live near any sort of train tracks owned by any railroad company, then go somewhere else that you really hate trains.
I know, right?? LOL!!!🤣🤣🤣 Hell, I think it's a blessing if you ask me!!! It just tells me that our once limited, and antiquated public transportation system here in Dallas, is advancing and making travel more accessible to more people than we once were. Hell, it's not much better on the "other side of the tracks" either, (no pun intended!!!) because from the West End, on down through, I think, Westmoreland Station, they will be working on the tracks until September!!! So, they close ALL of those stations on the weekend until then. Smh..... So, they need to just BE QUIET, and be grateful that we can finally SEE our tax dollars being spent on something that we can ALL benefit from!!!! THANK YOU DART!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😉😉😉😉😉
There were freight trains rolling past these neighborhoods 3 to 4 times per day up until around 2003, and that was fine. Now it’s a problem? It’s was better utilized as a freight track. It kept many trucks off the roads until the agreement between DART, DGNO and Kansas City Southern eliminated DGNO access to customers on the KCS. KCS is not allowed to serve customers in Plano. DGNO filled that need, until.....? Something happened. And now a couple of lumber facilities, a paper facility, and a concrete plant have additional truck traffic on the roads.
Except these trains are quiet, built on existing right of way, will have sound walls, will be crossable by foot, won't pollute the air, and won't run late at night.... So they aren't even feeling a fraction of the pain black communities went through
Build a bridge and get over it people get on my nerves having a issue with public transportation and no shade but the people that are complaining only have about another 40 years max on this earth get your head out of your as$es and think about future generations for crying out loud
When DART completed its light rail through Richardson, car thefts and burglaries where I used to work went from 0 per day to up to 5 or more per day. Even my vehicle got burgled. The train is used for window shopping. They get off at the next station, gank a car, hit the freeway to Downtown, drop off the car and do it all over again. I’m sure Someone got to buy my really nice stereo equipment from under a freeway overpass near downtown Dallas. As well as wheels and other automotive accessories stolen from Richville. I’d rather see freight reutilizing those rails to keep rock haulers off the roads.
Even though the Cotton Belt Line has so few stops that it could pass for commuter line train... which it kinda is, so I really don't why these folks are complaining about. They're not even gonna have a station anywhere in their community. Is that because of the train?

This one won’t. They will use RDC style train sets. Diesel powered.
msnow22000 Still better than freight

Jared H shhhhh!!!! They might hear you!
Jared H You’re spot on

@@MFXdump unless if you have actual proof of this spike with hard core facts I’m sorry but no besides train or no train this will happen

Now these people are experiencing how black folk felt when they built freeways through the black community!
