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.

She inspired me to think about the bigger social issues that impact our landscapes and cities, to think about how social history impacts our shared spaces, and the importance of history in our understanding of current day issues. I would like to thank Professor David Hopman, who mentored me throughout this master’s degree, and who taught me the power of plant materials and encouraged me to think bigger and broader in my research. I am grateful to Dr. Amy Archambeau, who taught me the value of research and writing in the practice of landscape architecture. I would also like to thank Dr. Diane Jones Allen for encouraging me to have conviction in my research and my ideas, and for her support both academically and professionally. I would like to thank my other professors who also helped me tremendously throughout my education at University of Texas at Arlington. To Dr. Taner Ozdil for teaching how planning and landscape architecture are inseparable, to Professor John Fain for always providing a little levity with grading, and to Jim Richards for encouraging my creativity always.
