This master plan examines the logistical and physical opportunities and constraints for a new trail approximately 4.5 miles (23,760 linear feet) long connecting the Tyler-Vernon DART Station south of the Tyler/West Clarendon intersection, Kiest Park, Briar Gate Park, Pecan Grove Park, and Westmoreland Park at Illinois Avenue.
The Trinity Forest Spine Trail Master Plan provides a vision for a 17.5 mile segment of planned trail in east Dallas that will run from the Santa Fe Trail just south of White Rock Lake to the Interstate 20 Gateway Park.
The SoPac Trail Master Plan provides a vision for a seven mile segment of planned trail in east Dallas on an abandoned heavy rail corridor that will connect to White Rock Lake and the Katy Trail.
The Connection Master Plan seeks to guide development of a primary trail connection between the Katy Trail and the forthcoming Trinity Strand Trail. When completed, the Connection will join Uptown, Downtown, the Design District, the Medical District, and the Stemmons Corridor businesses.
