Bomber Spur Trail Phase I will begin at the intersection of State Highway 183 and Calmont Ave and continue south approximately 1.5 miles to
cross US 377 / Camp Bowie. The trail alignment will be located within the abandoned Bomber Spur rail right-of-way and North Z. Boaz Park. This
new trail will provide a significant link in the Fort Worth Metroplex Veloweb system. Anticipated improvements include a 12-foot wide concrete
paved trail, 3-foot wide shoulders on both sides of the trail, trail structures (pedestrian bridge, retaining walls, drainage structures, etc.), traffic
control, interpretive signs and 911 location signs. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., is currently under contract with the City to perform the
engineering services for Bomber Spur Phase 1.
The Trail Gap Connections is a voter approved $5,500,000.00 project approved in the 2022 Bond Program, Proposition B, Trail Gap Connections.

To date, the City has released $2,523,046.00 of the approved 2022 Bond Program funds. The city will release additional funding for this project
each spring.

Bomber Spur Trail Phase I is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance
25675-08-2022) provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to make any interim progress payments until debt
is issued. Once debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement
expressing official intent to reimburse what was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
