McKinney Avenue Trolley Expansion
You may have heard talk about taking our beloved trolley cars further into Downtown Dallas.  We’re happy to report that the expansion is underway!  Plans are currently being drawn up that will change the trolley route from St. Paul to Olive Street, connecting it to two Downtown DART stations.  “This move should double ridership,” said MATA’s newly appointed president and CEO, Phil Cobb.  “We’ve wanted to increase trolley exposure and this move will give us plenty, with easy connections from the McKinney Avenue Trolley to the St Paul and Pearl Street stations.  This $6M project takes the trolley right through the Woodall Rodgers Deck Park, tying Uptown, the Arts District and Downtown together by providing free transportation to each,” he adds.
