APRIL 2007 URBAN LAND 189 Spotlight/TEXAS the Katy Trail land was donated to the city of Dallas by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1993. Initial funding for the project came through Dallas County and state grants. The Friends of the Katy Trail then created a cap- ital campaign to raise $11 million from gov- ernment sources and $12 million from pri- vate funding and land donations. That money is being used to design the trail, including the landscaping and public spaces, and to complete the many different components of the Katy Trail. (Each project must be fully funded before work can begin.) At the end of 2005, Friends of the Katy Trail had raised more than $16 million to im- plement the $23 million master plan. Private contributors have included the American Air- lines Center Foundation (comprising Ameri- can Airlines, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Dallas Stars), Centex Corporation, Hillwood Development Corp., the Belo Foundation (owners of the Dallas Morning News,WFAA- TV, and the Texas Cable News Network) as well as dozens of family foundations. “We still need about $6 million to finish the trail,” says Henderson. “We’ve gotten good contributions from foundations, but when it comes to private funding, you really need to look to the development community—which is creating the built environment—to be a participant in this. Thus far, we’ve gotten mixed support from the development com- munity. Some developers understand this as a good investment in maintaining the value of their own projects, and some developers The Katy Trail is directly “The ramp and the extension of Katy Trail just roll their eyes and walk away.” responsible for an upsurge will be a key element of the design and will But the public/private partnership goes in property values and provide access to the trail from the park for far beyond financing. “Friends of the Katy retail/restaurant sales in the young patients at the hospital.

  • Final-Ufac-Annual-Report-2007
    January 25, 2008 The Honorable Mayor, Tom Leppert Councilmember Pauline Medrano Chairperson, Quality of Life and Government Services Committee City of Dallas 1500 Marilla St., Room 5FN Dallas, Texas 75201 Re: Dallas Urban Forest Advisory Committee Annual Report and 2008 Goals Dear Mayor Leppert and Councilmember Medrano, The members of the City of Dallas Urban Forest Advisory Committee wish to extend our sincere appreciation to you for your continuing support and commitment to the advancement of urban forest initiatives in the City of Dallas. The committee enjoyed tremendous success in reaching many important goals and objectives as well as addressing the many challenges we faced. As a result, we are very pleased to present our Annual Report detailing significant progress in many critical areas. In 2007, committee members, advisors and Citizen Foresters contributed 3,775 hours of expert/professional time as volunteers with a value of $ 284,223.00 toward improving our green infrastructure (details in reference section). To date, the committee raised $79,410.00 in donations and grants. In general, our region is beginning to understand that we are all responsible for the environment we leave for future generations. As a result, the “green” movement is gaining momentum. This bodes well for the future public support of urban forestry in Dallas as well as in our region. Recent scientific research shows that for every dollar ($1.00) spent on urban forestry, over five dollars ($5.00) in benefits are received by the public. As the public learns of the direct correlation between trees and our air quality, stormwater runoff, heat island effect and much more, support for urban forestry will continue to grow.

    Trail Network Master Plan Quality of Life Committee August 22, 2005 1 Introduction The Renaissance Plan citizen survey found that trail development is among the highest priorities for Dallas citizens. The Renaissance Plan recommends the implementation of a regional trail network throughout the city. Trails boost real estate values and are frequently utilized in real estate marketing. 2 Methodology During the Renaissance Plan process, planners utilized the broadly focused Dallas County Trail Plan and the North Central Texas Council of Government’s Veloweb to suggest a preliminary network of trails through the city. During the Summer of 2003, utilizing a Landscape Architect intern from Texas Tech staff documented and mapped each proposed and existing trail corridor. This documentation helped to identify engineering and design challenges and were used to develop a preliminary cost estimate for each trail. 3 Methodology Cottonwood Trail City of Dallas Park and Recreation Image 1 Image 2 Standing on the southwest corner of Spring Valley Road Looking south on Cottonwood Trail at some of the trail and Maham Road looking south toward the Cottonwood amenities, which include benches, safety signage, Trail trail-head within an existing TXU right-of-way. water fountains, and trash cans.
