LBJ/Central station is a DART rail station in Dallas, Texas that serves the Red Line and Orange Line. It also services Dallas College Richland Campus through a bus route.
History
Plans for a station servicing Texas Instruments date back to DART's 1983 rail plan. The plan called for the station to be the northern terminus of a starter corridor along North Central Expressway.
Detailed plans for the station were completed in 1997. The plan included a large park-and-ride lot intended for use by commuters on LBJ Freeway, particularly those using LBJ's high-occupancy vehicle lanes, which DART operated at the time.
The station was built atop two baseball fields, As part of the construction, DART expanded Markville Drive (on the southern side of the station) to meet Floyd Road (now TI Boulevard). The station was opened on July 1, 2002 as part of the Red Line's third expansion, which expanded the line from Park Lane to Galatyn Park.
