D{SCUSS{ON
On June 3 2003 (M&C G-13989) the City Council adopted the Trinity River Vision Master Plan as a guide
for future development along the Trinity River and its major tributaries. The vision of the master plan is to
preserve and enhance the river and its corridors, so they remain essential greenways for open space trails,
neighborhood trail connections, wildlife and special recreation areas The master plan recommends
increased connections to adjacent neighborhoods and parks throughout the City
In FY2002-03 the City received a TCSP grant in the amount of $500 000 00 With these funds, the
FosterJKellis Park corridor project was completed for $119 410 50 The remaining $380 589 50 will be used
for the evaluation of potential neighborhood trail connections throughout the City and preparation of
preliminary design and cost estimates for the selected high-priority connections.
During the 2004 federal appropriations process, the City received a TCSP earmark in the amount of
$500 000 00 to support the design and construction of the identified high-priority connections. The TCSP
funds do not have a matching requirement.
The Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) will manage the contract for site selection and
construction with assistance from the Planning and Transportation Public Works Department (TPW) The
PACSD will contract with an appropriate consultant to evaluate and design the neighborhood trail
connections.
The scope of this project is citywide
