Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) leadership briefed the Richardson City Council on Monday, providing updates on transit services, ongoing projects and future initiatives.  

City staff presented information about Richardson’s Transportation and Mobility 2026-27 Work Plan at Monday’s City Council meeting, part of the “deep dive” presentations given annually in preparation for the Council’s August Budget Workshop.

The Renner Road at Wyndham Lane Large Valve Replacement Project is scheduled to be completed by the end of next week. The project required ongoing lane closures in the eastbound lanes of Renner Road just west of Wyndham Lane while crews replaced a 24-inch water valve. The replacement is part of the City’s ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade water system infrastructure and helps improve reliability by allowing crews to better control water flow and isolate sections of waterline during future maintenance, repairs or emergencies. 

The right lane of eastbound Arapaho Road between Crestview Drive and Newberry Drive may be closed to traffic from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. as a water valve is replaced followed by street panel work. In addition, for the same project, Newberry Drive at Arapaho Road may be fully closed to traffic and detoured to West Shore Drive and Waterview Drive at all times. The work is expected to be completed by late June. 

All ages are invited to participate in this 18-hole disc golf tournament, co-sponsored by Innova Disc Golf. Players will have the chance to win Innova discs and gear, plus additional prizes from Scheels.
