Transit-oriented development expected on rail route

Transit-oriented development expected on rail route

Mixed-use, residential and commercial developments are in the works for transportation-oriented projects at some stops along the Fort Worth T’s Southwest to Northeast rail line.

Developments along the route’s stops are in the planning stages for now, but each project will likely see growth which represents the community near each stop, said Dick Ruddell, president of the Fort Worth Transportation Authority.

“This is happening everywhere, all across the country,” said Shelley Poticha, president and CEO of Reconnecting America, a center for transit-oriented development in California.
