The under-construction DART’s 26-mile Silver Line project seems vital when you take into consideration the connectivity and providing transport to thousands of commuters and development projects around it. Yes, $1.2 billion is a lot of money. But it will connect several important areas with ten new stations. People commuting to their desired locations will benefit a lot from the Silver Line. The project will save them travel time along with multiple other financial benefits for the people and region.

Several new development sites will be brought about along the route of the DART’s silver line. Cushman & Wakefield, the commercial property firm hired by the city of Addison, stated in a press release that “the unparalleled central location, access to transit, major employment and proximity to high-traffic areas like Belt Line Road, a nationally known hotspot for restaurants, and the exceptional quality of life the town of Addison affords make this a prime investment opportunity.”

The Silver Line project is a multipurpose project that will provide passenger rail connections and system linkages to major employment, population and activity centers in the northern part of the #DART Service Area. The lucrative project will also support sustainable growth, local and regional land use visions, and economic development.

The Silver Line project is incredibly advantageous. Apart from providing mobility and connectivity to several cities, the development projects near its stations will bring great stability to the region along with several employment opportunities.

It is expected that several mega development activities will start on the route of the Silver Line. From the past successful projects of DART and recent economic activities near the project, it can be assumed optimistically that the Silver Line has great growth potential. Let's hope this is only the beginning of our area's economic growth.
