          A SMALL TRAIL CONNECTION IN NORTH FRISCO WILL MAKE A BIG IMPACT WHEN IT'S FINISHED. 
          “THIS PROJECT IS ABOUT 85% COMPLETE.” “THE THING THAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PARVIN BRANCH TRAIL IS THAT IT’S IN AN AREA THAT’S CLOSE TO A NEIGHBORING CITY AND WE’RE LOOKING TOWARD MAKING CONNECTIONS TO OTHER MUNICIPALITIES." THE PARVIN BRANCH TRAIL EXTENSION CONNECTS TWO TRAILS UNDER PRESTON ROAD JUST SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 380. 
          USERS WILL BE ABLE TO GO FROM THE BRETTON WOODS NEIGHBORHOOD, EAST OF PRESTON ROAD, WEST TO THE TRAIN TRACKS THEN SOUTH TO PGA PARKWAY. 
          “WHEN I EXPLAIN THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING UNDER THE ROAD, SO IT’S OFF-STREET TRAIL AND IT’S GOING TO ACTUALLY MAKE EXISTING TRAILS TO THE EAST OF PRESTON AND TO THE WEST LONGER FOR PEOPLE TO RECREATE, THEY’RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT.” THIS EXTENSION IS ONLY ABOUT 400 FEET LONG, BUT IS IMPORTANT TO THE CITY'S HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS MASTER PLAN. 
          “EVENTUALLY THERE’S GOING TO BE CONNECTIONS ALL AROUND FRISCO. SO WE’RE MAKING SURE THAT WE’RE TAKING CARE OF ALL THE SMALL SEGMENTS NOW." BOND FUNDS ARE PAYING FOR THE $1.5 MILLION CONNECTION.  IT'S EXPECTED TO BE OPEN BY SPRING FOR WALKERS, RUNNERS AND BICYCLISTS TO ENJOY. 
          “THIS SEGMENT IS NOT LONG, BUT EVERY PROJECT THAT WE FINISH, EVERY SEGMENT WE FINISH, EVERY CONNECTION WE FINISH, IT ADDS TO THE OVERALL MASTER PLAN AND IT BENEFITS THE CITY.” TO LEARN MORE ABOUT FRISCO'S HIKE & BIKE TRAILS, GO TO FRISCOTEXAS.GOV/TRAILS.
