An additional $1.6 million has been approved which could be used to help change the route of the proposed Dallas to Fort Worth high-speed railway.
On Thursday the North Central Texas Council of Governments' Regional Transportation Council signed off on an additional $1.6 million which could be used to help alter the proposed Dallas to Fort Worth high-speed rail line after the initially suggested route sparked a local backlash.
'During Thursday's meeting NCTCOG members spoke out against the previously proposed Fort Worth to Dallas route, which would cut through the southwestern corner of Dallas parallel to Interstate 30. It would also pass close to Hyatt Regency Hotel and Reunion Tower. Hunt Reality Investments, a Dallas property company which is planning a $5 billion development on land it owns around the Hyatt, has argued the current proposed route could interfere with its project.
