One of the things I love about Richardson is that we are well connected. For $6 I can skip the traffic and parking fees to visit downtown Dallas.

When: Sunday, 9 AM

Meet at: Arapaho Center Station

Catch the: Red Line train at 9:18 AM

The Plan:

This will be a slow-paced ride with lots of stops along the way. We'll be checking out:

Parks

Famous sites

Art installations

Fair Park

We'll stop for lunch somewhere downtown. Want to head back early? No problem — just hop on a DART train whenever you're ready.

Weather: Warm weather's here, but mornings should still be nice and comfortable.

Cost: $6 for a DART daypass — buy it at the station or through the GoPass App.

Mine is simple: Use the trails and neighborhood streets if it adds less than 10 minutes to the trip.

It’s just not worth dealing with the main road traffic if there's a low-stress route nearby. Some of my go-to swaps:

-Owens instead of Plano Rd

-Renner Trail instead of Renner Rd

-Literally anything over Spring Valley.

What's yours?
