We, the undersigned, support the development of a train system that will connect Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) with the North Texas cities of Allen, McKinney and Sherman. This initiative is spawned because of a lack of public transportation from and to these communities mentioned. The benefit of the people of North Texas will be great. The small communities along this route would greatly benifit by bringing new jobs and great economic development . For commuters, that canâ€™t help but contribute to the congested highway problem, and those who care about our environment and the pollution that comes from car oil and gas, we the people plead for an environmentally friendly form of mass transportation. The existing abandoned freight lines pass through the hearts of all the mentioned communities. Could there not be an agreement reached that would allow for commuter trains to be scheduled along these existing freight train right of ways. The proposed train line would bring business to all parties involved, including tax from ticket sales.
