Oak Cliff, originally a city across the Trinity River but now part of Dallas, is planning to restore streetcar service. The initial fundraising and planning phases have begun. Design and construction are slated to kick off in 2009 and the first passengers will be onboard early 2011.
More information can be found on their website (http://www.oakcliffta.org/).
The Oak Cliff Transit Authority was formed by a group of Oak Cliff residents and businesses interested in revitalizing a span of original streetcar rail line in an effort to:
* Aid in Oak Cliff's economic redevelopment
* Facilitate a pedestrian friendly work, live, and play environment
* Support area businesses by creating park-and-ride options for merchants who are unable to acquire Certificate of Occupancies due to restrictive parking issues
* Assist in reducing the areas auto emissions
* Link Downtown Dallas with Oak Cliff's burgeoning arts districts and the future Oak Cliff Gateway
