Body
BACKGROUND
The Kleberg Trail, when completed, will total 5.75 miles extending southeast to the City's southeast border with the City of Seagoville as identified in the Dallas Trail Network Master Plan. This segment of the Kleberg Trail will provide access to major public transportation, employment, residential areas, and a community park. Upon build out of the Dallas trail system, the Kleberg Trail will connect to the Prairie Creek Trail and, by extension to, the Trinity Forest, Levee, and Skyline Trails, White Rock Creek Trail, Katy Trail, Northaven Trail, etc. providing a vital link to and from southeast Dallas, an area of the City which currently contains fewer parkland opportunities than adjacent areas.
The project scope is to build 12-foot-wide multi-use trail including prefabricated bridge from the DART Buckner Station to Crawford Memorial Park at Bridges Street with a connection into the Crawford Memorial Park loop trail system.
This action will authorize a construction services contract with Northstar Construction, LLC. for the construction of the Kleberg Trail Phase I Project. The trail connects DART Buckner Station to Crawford Memorial.
