“THIS IS A PRETTY IMPORTANT CONNECTION.”

[00:00:02]

A TRAIL EXTENSION UNDER PRESTON ROAD IMPROVES TRAIL CONNECTIVITY IN NORTH FRISCO.

“THIS GAP THAT WE'RE FILLING IN IS CONNECTING THE EXISTING PARVIN BRANCH TRAIL TO THE EAST, TO THE EXISTING TRAIL THAT GOES BEHIND THE STAR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WILL LEAD YOU TO PGA PARKWAY.” THIS CONNECTION LEADS THE WAY FOR WALKERS, RUNNERS AND BICYCLISTS TRAVELING UNDER PRESTON ROAD.

“ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS BUILD THE TRAIL UNDER THE ROAD, CONNECT IT TO THE DEVELOPMENT IN BRETTON WOOD, AND THAT'LL BE DONE.

WE'RE REALLY CLOSE.” WHEN CONNECTED, THE TRAIL WILL BE NEARLY 2 MILES LONG.

USERS WILL BE ABLE TO TRAVEL FROM THE EAST SIDE OF PRESTON ROAD WEST TO THE TRAIN TRACKS THEN SOUTH TO PGA PARKWAY.

“I'VE HEARD SOME EXCITEMENT FROM SOME NEIGHBORS WHO WANT TO MAKE THIS CONNECTION AND WANT A LONGER TRAIL, A LONGER WALKING PATH.” THIS EXTENSION IS ANOTHER STEP TO ENHANCE THE CITY'S HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS MASTER PLAN.

“I THINK EVERY GAP THAT WE INSTALL OR FILL IS A MILESTONE FOR US.” BOND FUNDS WILL PAY FOR THE ROUGHLY $1.5 MILLION PROJECT.

THE PARVIN BRANCH TRAIL EXTENSION IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE IN LATE SPRING.

“FRISCO IS MAKING AN EFFORT TO BUILD TRAILS OFF STREET AND THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS AND BUSINESSES.

IT GIVES YOU A SENSE THAT YOU'RE IN A DIFFERENT PLACE.

YOU'RE MAKING CONNECTIONS TO NATURE. YOU'RE MAKING CONNECTIONS TO THE CITY IN OTHER WAYS.” TO LEARN MORE ABOUT FRISCO'S HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS, GO TO FRISCOTEXAS.GOV/TRAILS.
