LBJ/Central station is a DART Light Rail station in Dallas, Texas that serves the Red Line and Orange Line. [1] During non-peak hours (mornings, evenings, and weekends), it serves as the eastern terminus of the Orange Line.
The station is named for the intersection of Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (I-635) and North Central Expressway (US 75), which it is adjacent to. The station services the two Dallas campuses of Texas Instruments through employee shuttles. [5] It also services Dallas College Richland Campus through a bus route. [6]
Plans for a station servicing Texas Instruments date back to DART's 1983 rail plan. [7] The plan called for the station to be the northern terminus of a starter corridor along North Central Expressway. [8]
Detailed plans for the station were completed in 1997. The plan included a large park-and-ride lot intended for use by commuters on LBJ Freeway, particularly those using LBJ's high-occupancy vehicle lanes, which DART operated at the time. [9]
The station was built atop two baseball fields, [9] which were donated to DART by Texas Instruments. [10] As part of the construction, DART expanded Markville Drive (on the southern side of the station) to meet Floyd Road (now TI Boulevard). [9]
In tribute to Texas Instruments, the station's façade was decorated with circuit boards. The station's canopy was decorated with translucent panels honoring local organizations and individuals, including TI's Jack Kilby. [3] [11] [12] The station was opened on July 1, 2002 as part of the Red Line's third expansion, which expanded the line from Park Lane to Galatyn Park. [3]
