The Downtown Dallas (D2) Project would include 1.2 miles of subway, but would also include several surface level features which would be designed to fit in the urban context of downtown Dallas. There would be two tunnel portals; the North Portal would provide an urban design opportunity for development over the portal and pedestrian linkages between the Victory and West End areas. The East Portal would transition from underground to the surface along Swiss Avenue and would provide the opportunity for urban development and pedestrian linkages between downtown and the Deep Ellum area.
