FORT WORTH (June 13, 2007) – The Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) has launched a Web site, http://www.sw2nerail.com/, for the Environmental Impact Statement phase of the proposed Southwest-to-Northeast Rail Corridor.
The site contains current information about the project and answers frequently asked questions concerning the proposed rail line. The Web site also provides notices of public meetings, the first of which will take place the week of June 18 in Fort Worth and Grapevine.
The Southwest-to-Northeast Rail Corridor would follow existing rail lines from Fort Worth’s Granbury Road/South Hulen area, through downtown Fort Worth, northeast to downtown Grapevine and then into the north entrance of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. The route proposed from a 2006 study of various possible transit improvements connects to the Trinity Railroad Express in downtown Fort Worth.
Public input is a key component of the ongoing effort to develop public transportation for the Southwest-to-Northeast corridor. The Web site offers several methods for public involvement, and visitors to the site can leave comments about the project. The site also offers a project timeline, maps of the proposed route and the executive summary report from the 2006 study.
Cities in the corridor area include Colleyville, Fort Worth, Grapevine, Haltom City, Hurst, North Richland Hills and
