Fast forward two decades and then some from the past. Richardson may have an advantage in forging a PPP that prefers to have Cotton Belt routed for PGBT DART station than for a 12th St Plano station. Politics, land and legacy lean to Richardson in my opinion. Specifically in regard to land, it is a generous greenfield (undeveloped land area) at PGBT except the DART facility itself and planned (funded subdiving) roads. Engineering considerations may look to favor Plano but traffic comes into play. I may expound on these comments later. Ian (Dallas News) and Mark (The Wheel's Still In Spin) say interesting things on the subject.
