Forget that, we need to save the heartland flyer before we do anything else. It is still very much at risk despite the emergency infusion that NCTCOG gave Amtrak to keep it going.
She’d better push the new legislature to prioritize that.

I traced back the North Texas requirement to the NCTCOG, the MPO. They publish a model code that cities in DFW adopt without review. I sent it to the head of development services here in Dallas as a red flag to get it removed...hopefully
