The initial at-grade platforms on the Red and Blue Lines were constructed as 300-foot platforms. The construction preserved a station envelope for the extensions to account for a future extension to accommodate longer trains. FUTURE WITH PLATFORM EXTENSIONS EXISTING PLATFORM EXTENSIONS AT A GLANCE PLATFORM EXTENSIONS Project Cost 33% 7,900 UP TO INCREASE 28 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2 The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Red and Blue Line Platform Extension project includes modifications to 28 stations constructed prior to 2004. The modifications will enable the platforms to accommodate 3-car Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) consists. Modifications include extending platforms and/or raising portions of the platform to permit level boarding. The changes will increase system-wide carrying capacity and enhance the network core capacity. DART intends to design and construct the project with minimal impact to patrons and areas in and around the stations.
