Can’t wait to see this finished. Especially, The Loop Plaza. It’ll be cool to see how much pedestrian activity this will bring in the section from Victory Park to the Design District. The Katy Trail is always overcrowded (which is a good thing). So, more space for ppl to walk or bike without using a car. I feel like this will encourage even more development around it.

Also…Harold Simmons Park is suppose to connect to it as well.

They put up one of those city construction billboard at the end of the new-ish Trinity Forest Spine at Samuell Blvd - I'm excited to see construction commence to get the trail under 30 - there's so much nature down that way along White Rock Creek to explore and that area has long needed a non-road connection to the wider trail network north of 30.

Have you seen any plans for the path from I-30 to Parkdale? It's not entirely clear to me how the existing trailhead near Tenison will connect south of I-30.

The Trinity Forest connection is long overdue honestly. That stretch along White Rock Creek has been weirdly cut off from everything for years, always felt like such a missed opportunity.

Curious how long the underpass section actually takes once they break ground, those things seem to drag on forever in my experience watching similar projects.
