Drinking Liberally Addison

We are here! Room to the left of the entrance. Sign on the table!

Great turn out tonight! Thanks to Tyler from Yes DART for coming out and so many folks in the town I didn’t know knew about DL sending me new members.

We are here and already chatting away. May need a bigger table!
Signs are on the table! Left of the entrance.

Good turn out at ! A bit cold but we had a lot of engagement from those who drove by and safety drove by’s from Carrollton Police Department who always are so friendly and kind while we exercise our right to protest!

We are here in the non smoking room to the left of the entrance. Signs on the table which is in the middle of the far wall.

Addison residents or those that use DART to get to and from Addison—this is an important moment for our community.

This February, the Town Council has placed a DART exit measure on the ballot for May 2026. What many residents may not realize is what’s at stake: if voter turnout is low and the measure passes, DART service could end immediately—while Addison taxpayers would still be on the hook for the cost for the next three to four years. Even more concerning, cities that have exited DART have taken anywhere from 1 to 25 years to implement an On‑Demand Transit alternative. That gap in service would have real consequences for our town and the data for On-Demand Transit shows it can increase rider timeframes to get two and from by up to an hour or more. This situation should not stand.

On that same May ballot, voters will also have the opportunity to hold local leadership accountable. Two current Town Council members—Howard Freed and Darren Gardener—who voted in favor of placing this measure on the ballot are up for reelection.

If you care about protecting public transit in Addison and shaping the future of our local government, please make sure you are registered to vote for the May ballot.

And if you’d like to take action right now, I invite you to join me this Saturday as we walk the south side of Addison Circle to spread the word and encourage voter participation.
