The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Board approved interlocal agreements last week that include funding for street repairs in select DART service area cities including Richardson. For Richardson, DART will provide $330,590 toward the Main Street Redevelopment Project, which includes complete pavement replacement of Main Street from near Sherman Street to just east of Greenville Avenue and several traffic enhancements at the Main Street/Greenville Avenue intersection. The project kicked off in September, with work expected to last through winter 2020/2021.

DART began its Street Repair Policy in 1994 to assist service area cities with needed repairs. Projects are submitted by cities for approval and must be shown to be a benefit to DART.
