The second phase of the trail was begun on April 12, 2008. This 1.3 mile extension from McCallum north to the Bush Tollway is now complete. This work also included many amenities along the existing 4.5 mile first phase, such as several nodes with benches, trash receptacles, bicycle racks, and decorative pavers, along with a drinking fountain and bulletin board at the junction north of Brentfield. The blank brick pavers in the nodes will be replaced by engraved donor bricks as they are sold - $50 and $75. If you want a community message placed on the bulletin board, please contact us with plenty of lead time. ONCOR and the City reached agreement on where future planting may be placed. Unfortunately, ONCOR will not follow the agreement they just made with the City and will only allow about 10% of the planting density previously allowed and as provided in this most current agreement. We still need your help to keep the Trail well-funded and looking great! But please do not plant independent trees as ONCOR will remove those not in accordance with the master agreement. Volunteers are needed to help with organized planting and watering. We invite members to show their support, which helps defray the cost of maintaining the watering equipment and to cover the water bills. Individual directed contributions are also welcome to help underwrite benches, etc. To-date, numerous individuals and HOAs have donated thousands of tax deductible contributions.
