The backstory
The Silver Line is a planned $1.8 billion regional commuter train that will run through seven cities and link Plano to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. DART anticipates the commuter rail could begin service in late 2025, according to the Plano comprehensive plan website.
The two Plano stations are set to be located at 1101 Shiloh Road and 1180 12th St. The Silver Line Station Areas Plan is looking at how to best support development and redevelopment opportunities within a half-mile of the planned stations.
The comprehensive plan’s website states the stations are expected to be an “economic development catalyst for southeast Plano and the greater downtown core.”

Those who want to provide feedback on the project can also attend a public open house June 28 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. The open house is being held at Sam Johnson Recreation Center, 401 W. 16th St.
The city is also looking for residents, business owners and interested stakeholders to join the project advisory group that will help guide planning for the stations. Those interested can contact Plano’s planning department at [email protected] or 972-941-7151.
