'There's other options': Irving City Council to discuss potential DART pullout election

Irving city officials will discuss Nov. 6 a possible referendum to determine whether it will remain part of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system, or DART.

The move follows the Plano City Council’s decision earlier this week to discuss a potential withdrawal election during an upcoming special session.

Council members in Farmers Branch and Highland Park are also planning to discuss the possibility of letting voters decide the future of DART in their cities.

Previously, Irving voters chose to stay in DART during pullout elections in 1989 and 1996.

DART Rail to DFW airport didn't arrive until after I moved, but the western quarter of the system will be useless if Irving withdraws from DART.
