Cityplace Station is a DART light rail station located in the Cityplace neighborhood of Oak Lawn Dallas, Texas (USA) underneath Cityplace Tower at Haskell Avenue and North Central Expressway (US 75). As an infill DART station, it opened on 18 December 2000 as the first public subway station in the Southwest (the Tandy Center Subway in Fort Worth was a privately-owned subway).[1]
The station is tri-level in design, reaching depths of 120 feet beneath North Central Expressway. The south end of the platforms are reached from the surface via 213-steps, three pairs of escalators or elevators (3 traditional and 2 inclined elevators).[2] The station is shared between the Red and Blue lines. The east entrance is located at the base of Cityplace Tower, serving that tower and surrounding retail. The west entrance serves West Village, the M-line Streetcar and Uptown area. Original station plans allowed for another set of entrances at the north end of the platforms, which could serve future development north of Haskell Boulevard.
Cityplace remains the only underground station on the DART rail system (the nearby Knox-Henderson Station was deferred after community opposition).
