PLANO (WBAP/KLIF) – Construction of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit 12th Street Station in Plano will begin on Saturday, August 26.

“Non-DART branded shuttle buses operated by a third-party bus company will provide service between CityLine/Bush Station, Downtown Plano Station, and Parker Road Station for passengers.,” DART said in a statement. “Passengers should look for the charter buses at the red “Rail Disruption” bus stop signs located near each station to board a shuttle bus. DART personnel will be stationed on the platforms to provide directions and assistance.”
The DART 12th Street Station is expected to provide easy transfer opportunities between the Red and Orange lines and the future DART Silver Line, providing greater access to the rest of the DART light rail network. The stations will include 313 parking places, 5 DART bus bays, and easy access to the future Cotton Belt Regional Trail.
