Knoll Trail station is a future DART Silver Line commuter rail station in Dallas, Texas. The station will open with the Silver Line when it is completed in late 2025 or early 2026. [1]

The station will be located in Far North Dallas near the intersection of Arapaho Road and Dallas North Tollway. It will serve adjacent apartment and office complexes, [2] as well as Prestonwood Town Center. The station will also be a connection point for service to Galleria Dallas and the proposed Dallas Midtown development. [3] Unlike most DART stations, Knoll Trail will not have a dedicated parking lot. [4]

The station will be decorated with an "urban refuge" theme. [5]

History

In 1990, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) purchased a former St. Louis Southwestern Railway corridor between Fort Worth and Plano for a future commuter rail line. [6]

In 2006, the city of Dallas proposed a development plan for the Far North Dallas segment of the corridor. The plan proposed three stations on the segment, including one at Knoll Trail. [7] The other two Far North Dallas stations (located at Preston Road and Coit Road) would later be removed from the plan, [8] but Knoll Trail was retained.

In 2017, developers for the Dallas Midtown project (located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the rail line at the former site of Valley View Center) proposed an elevated transit system connecting the project and Knoll Trail station. [9] [10]
