Irving officials wary of DART's new Orange Line plan

DART officials' latest plans for the Orange Line leave intact a much-lauded direct connection from Irving's planned Belt Line station to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
But the plans also pave the way for a looped track that would eventually connect the Orange Line to the Cotton Belt Rail Line just north of the airport.
"To us, this seems like a way to deliver the service to the terminals, which is what Irving's interested in, and not preclude a connection from the Orange Line" to the Cotton Belt, Dallas Area Rapid Transit spokesman Morgan Lyons said.
Still, Irving officials aren't celebrating the proposal that comes on the heels of weeks of tension between Irving and the transit authority over DART's last-minute look at the Orange Line's alignment.
