[1] In addition to providing a transfer point, the station will serve the 12th Street neighborhood and the historically black Douglass Community.

The Silver Line platform, located at ground level at the intersection of 12th Street and K Avenue, will feature a 313-space parking lot, a passenger drop-off area, and five bus bays.

[6] The station is located along the Cotton Belt, a 54-mile (87 km) rail corridor between Fort Worth and Wylie.

Built in 1871 by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway, the corridor was purchased by DART in 1990 for a potential commuter rail line.
