That would give us an a strategic east/west link between Richardson and Addison, not only linking two major employment centers in far north Dallas, but it would also provide a needed intersection with the Preston Ridge Trail near McCallum. This would make bike commuting north or south on our trail system much easier for our friends in Richardson and Addison. But yeah, I cannot wait for the Cottonwood Trail to be finished! Oh, and the last time I rode at White Rock the trails there looked pristine.

I can't wait for the Cottonwood Trail to open, the Santa Fe, and then eventually, the Northaven Trail. While I am comfortable riding streets and roads, I like having trail alternatives also! A successful bicycle transportation environment depends on all types of facilities and access. Hopefully, in addition to building new trails, the City of Dallas, and others in the area, will work to maintain the ones they have -- especially the White Rock Trail.
