​​​​​​​​The DART Cotton Belt Rail Line Project is a 26-mile line that will extend from DFW Airport to Shiloh Road in Plano and  traverse seven cities, including Coppell. The Cotton Belt Project’s primary purpose is to provide passenger rail connections and service that will improve mobility, accessibility and system linkages to major employment, population and activity centers in the northern part of the DART Service Area. The Cotton Belt Project would interface with three DART LRT lines: The Red Line in Richardson/Plano, the Green Line in Carrollton and the Orange Line at DFW Airport. Also at DFW Airport the project would connect to Fort Worth Transit Authority's TEX Rail Regional Rail Line to Fort Worth and the DFW Airport Skylink People Mover. 

The City of Coppell hosted two public meetings on March 1 and March 9, 2017 to provide an update on the planned DART Cotton Belt Rail Line Project. For more information about the background and development of the project, watch the March 9, 2017 meeting or view the March 9, 2017 presentation. 

​The City of Coppell is doing what we can to influence DART to the best interest of the Coppell citizenery. ​This includes the adoption of a resolution on June 13, 2017 by the Mayor and City Council stating: 

"The City of Coppell fully supports DART Board redesign and realignment of the Cotton Belt Rail line throughout Coppell from Luna Road westward to Freeport Parkway, which would incorporate a Southern reconfiguration to provide a station in the Northlake/Cypress Water Campus subject to grade separation, quiet zones, sound walls and trail by rail segments along the entire route through Coppell."  ​

​​​​The Coppell Arts Center is a very exciting project for the City of Coppell, for both residents and local artists. We believe increasing access and public awareness to the arts will build our sense of community and make Coppell an even more special place to live, work and play helping to fulfill its vision of being “A Family Community for a Lifetime.”​

​ABOUT THE ARTS CENTEr

The new arts center will be in Old Town, the city’s historic district. The arts center is planned to be a one-story building, estimated at 28,800 square feet and will include three main spaces: a Black Box/Flexible Theater, a Performance Hall/Space, and a multi-purpose space for rehearsals and community use. The center will be able to accommodate more than one art group at a time and will include a gallery to display artwork. Construction is expected to begin first quarter of 2018 and funding for the project will be through the Coppell Recreation Development Corporation.  ​

A Message from Parks and Recreation Director Brad Reid
Several years ago, the idea came out of a series of strategic planning summits about renovating the Andrew Brown Parks, going on to suggest major changes to the usage of the park areas in the future, allowing for improvements to youth sports amenities and adding community gathering spaces.  These two goals became the baseline for a redesign of the parks in 2011, and have continued to be the focus since.  ​

Project Update - February 2016

The redevelopment project is currently underway at Andrew Brown East and West. Fencing has been installed to maintain control of the construction site, which will limit access into the project areas.  ​Demolition of existing sidewalks and structures is in progress. During construction, there will be significant impacts to the usability of the trails and park areas.  Those areas that can safely remain accessible will be left open for use. ​

Project Update - January 14, 2016

On the evening of January 12, 2016, the Coppell City Council carefully considered the future of the Andrew Brown Park system, and discussed the plans for redevelopment as well as the increased cost of ​construction​​. ​The Council approved the total award for construction of the first phase of work for $21,183,850.00.The project is being funded by the ½ cent sales tax that was reauthorized by voters in 2013. ​The increase in the ultimate cost of the project is based on several influences: 

• ​​​Since the project cost estimation was first considered in 2012, inflation in the construction industry has increased the cost of materials and labor.  
• Community input on the project requested that items be added to the scope, adding to the cost.  
• When the master plan of the park was completed, it was anticipated that the park would be constructed in phases over several years. This meant that important items would be left to be constructed later.  

Project Update - January 8, 2016

The contractor plans to begin the work in late January at Andrew Brown Community Park West with demolition and earthwork as the first activities.  The Parks Department will be able to relocate some of the trees being removed at Andrew Brown West to other areas within Coppell, with several moving to Moore Road Park and to Rolling Oaks Memorial Center.​​​
