What we reported Local officials are working with Dallas Area Rapid Transit to transform the Legacy corridor into a regional transportation hub. DART is expected to roll out several projects in the coming months, including a new east-west express bus service and the Cotton Belt Line, which will link Plano to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

The latest Consultant Kimley-Horn and Associates in early November completed a $160,000 mobility study on the Legacy corridor. The study was funded by the city of Plano, Collin County and DART. Regional improvements like the widening of the Dallas North Tollway will be critical for mitigating traffic in this area, the study concluded.

What’s next Road construction to accommodate the growing Legacy corridor is expected to be complete in mid- to late 2017. DART’s new Legacy bus service, which will run to and from Legacy West from the Parker Road Station, is expected to start in March. Its extension of the Route 208 Downtown Express will also be extended to Legacy-area businesses, including Toyota Motor North America and Liberty Mutual Insurance.
