Cityplace/Uptown station (formerly Cityplace station) is a DART Light Rail station located in Dallas, Texas. It is located beneath North Central Expressway (US 75) at Haskell Avenue in the Cityplace district. As the first infill DART station, it opened on December 18, 2000, as the first public subway station in Texas (the Tandy Center Subway in Fort Worth, though open to the public, was a privately-owned light rail). [3]
The station is tri-level in design, reaching depths of 120 feet (37 m) beneath North Central Expressway. The station is shared between the Red, Orange, and Blue lines. The south end of the platforms are reached from east and west entrances at the surface via stairs, three pairs of escalators, or elevators (3 traditional and 2 inclined elevators). [3] The east entrance is located at the base of Tower at Cityplace, serving that tower and surrounding retail. The west entrance is located in West Village with a turntable for the M-Line Trolley, which provides service to Uptown and the Arts District. Original station plans allowed for another set of entrances at the north end of the platforms, which could serve future development north of Haskell Avenue.
At present, Cityplace/Uptown is the only underground station on the DART rail system. A following station at Knox–Henderson was deferred after community opposition, and subway stations built under the D2 Subway project are still in the planning stage. [4] The other two remaining stations for the tunnel are Pearl/Arts District and Mockingbird. Both of these stations are outside the tunnel.
On July 30, 2012, Cityplace station was renamed Cityplace/Uptown station as part of the service changes effective for that date to better reflect new identities created by their evolving neighborhoods or surrounding developments. [5]
