About

The Addison City Council has decided not to move forward with a May election for voters to determine if the Dallas Area Rapid Transit System (DART) should be continued in the Town of Addison. The Town will continue to work closely with DART to advance the goals and needs of our community.

More information about Addison’s Transit can be found at addisontx.gov/Government/Addison-Transit.

At its November 18 meeting, the Council approved a nearly $400K design change order with Teague Nail and Perkins related to the Quorum Drive Reconstruction Project. They also provided direction on several key refinements, including keeping the road four lanes instead of having a two-way cycle track and preserving on-street parking north of Belt Line Road. The approved direction also keeps the new Triangle Park concept in place that was added to the plan in May 2024, based on recommendations of an Advisory Committee.

As part of the 2019 Bond Program, residents approved the reconstruction of Quorum Drive from the Dallas North Tollway to the DART Rail Right-of-Way. Quorum Drive was originally built in the early to mid-1980s, and the scope of the project includes not only replacing the roadway, but also upsizing utilities to handle continued growth in Addison, incorporating the Master Transportation and Trails Master Plans, ADA improvements, and the replacement of traffic signals at three intersections.

At the November 18 Work Session, the City Council reviewed the draft Advance Addison 2050 Comprehensive Plan, a long-range initiative that will guide Addison’s growth, development, and community character through 2050. The plan reflects over two years of research, community engagement, and strategic visioning, led by consultant Verdunity and supported by the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC). It is only the third such plan in Addison’s history.

The draft plan outlines policy recommendations related to land use, housing, mobility, economic development, and public spaces, with a continued focus on preserving Addison’s unique character while planning for future opportunities. Engagement has been central to the process, with hundreds of comments collected through surveys, public meetings, targeted outreach, and ongoing input through the project website.

The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the plan at its meeting on October 21. Once adopted, staff will begin implementing the plan, including launching an online tracking tool to keep the community informed of progress. Council plans to discuss the plan further in January.
