Irving cancels DART withdrawal election in 7-2 city council vote
Following in the footsteps of Plano and Farmers Branch, Irving moved Thursday night to rescind a May 2 special election that would have allowed voters to determine the future of DART in their city.
The city council voted unanimously to approve the interlocal agreement between DART and the city for general mobility program funds. It then voted 7-2 in favor of cancelling the election, with council members Luis Canosa and John Bloch voting against it.
This comes after months of back and forth between DART and its member cities, six of which were recently slated to hold withdrawal elections. Earlier this week, city council members in Plano and Farmers Branch voted to take their measures off the ballot after striking an agreement with DART.
Addison will keep their election, following a Tuesday city council vote.
