Accelerated Completion of the Mountain Creek Trail
To better capitalize on the rich scenery and terrain
of the Mountain Creek area, and to provide
additional recreation amenities for residents and
visitors, Team 6 recommends the construction
of a bicycle trail connecting Cedar Hill State
Park, Joe Pool Lake, and Mountain Creek Lake
along Mountain Creek Blvd. The Team will work
with the City of Dallas’ Department of Parks &
Recreation and the Department of Public Works
and Transportation to construct the pathway using
funds from the 2010 Bond Program. Once
completed, the bicycle path will draw in additional
visitors to our unique area, encouraging
the development of additional retail and residential
opportunities.
Status - In Progress
The Office of Economic Development and the Department of Parks & Recreation are working with the Area 6 Team, now the Friends of the Mountain Creek Trail, towards identifying a potential route and cost. Acquisition of the necessary right of way and construction of the trail will be considered for funding in a future capital bond program.
