Introduction Methodology In 2002, the City of Dallas adopted the Park and During the Renaissance Plan process, planners Recreation Department’s Long Range utilized the broad Dallas County Trail Plan and Development Plan, A Renaissance Plan. This plan the North Central Texas Council of Government’s was launched with the idea that Dallas will recover, Veloweb to suggest a preliminary network of trails regain, and reposition its park system as a model that would be explored further and would connect in the United States. With the adoption of the into the existing trail system. Over a period of Renaissance Plan and the subsequent passage of several months, park staff visited each proposed the record 2003 and 2006 Bond Programs, the City trail corridor to determine the true feasibility of has taken a bold step forward in achieving its each proposed trail. All of the proposed trails that vision to be a premier Park and Recreation system were deemed feasible, as well as existing trails, in the United States. were photographically documented and mapped. Great trail systems are associated with great cities. This documentation, mapping and other available Linking communities with trails and greenways is information such as individual trail master plans, becoming a critical component of the urban fabric, helped to identify engineering and design particularly as the population becomes more challenges which were useful in developing dense.

One of these big moves is to implement a regional trail network throughout the city. To that end, Park and

Maps, photographic documentation, cost estimates and various trail data have been combined into a single comprehensive document to create the Dallas Trail Network Plan. This plan is meant to be updated as needed to allow for the most current status of the trail system as it is implemented. New trail proposals and changes to existing proposals can be evaluated, documented and incorporated into the plan. This is an important feature, as new ideas and urban re-development can create new opportunities which did not previously exist.

Trails boost real estate values and are frequently utilized in real estate marketing. Dallas Trail Network Plan

Classification The Dallas Trail Network Plan classifies trails into four distinct categories which include the following:

• Major Linear Trails

• Major Loop Trails

• Major Nature Trails

• Neighborhood Trails Major trails are city-wide assets and should be marketed as regional attractions. A trail that is at least one mile in length is classified as a major trail. With the exception of nature trails, major trails are typically developed with a minimum 12- White Rock Lake Park Loop Trail—A major loop trail. foot width in accordance with the American Society of Highway and Transportation Officials (ASHTO) guidelines. Major nature trails are natural-surfaced trails that are typically located in a major greenbelt Major linear trails typically connect multiple parks, park. These trails provide opportunities for greenbelts, schools, neighborhoods, employment environmental education and contemplative centers, entertainment districts and transit centers. seclusion in a natural setting. In addition to the obvious recreational benefit, major linear trails are essential in promoting alternative modes of transportation and improving air quality.

Neighborhood trails are considered more of a Preston Ridge Trail—A major linear Trail neighborhood amenity rather than a regional attraction. These trails are typically located wholly within community and neighborhood parks. Major loop trails are typically located wholly A trail that is less than one mile in length is within metropolitan, regional, and community classified as a neighborhood trail and can be a parks. These trails provide multiple recreation and linear, loop, or nature trail. Neighborhood linear exercise opportunities while linking major and loop trails are typically no wider than 8 feet. amenities within the park. Analysis and planning of each neighborhood trail occurs within the individual park development plan for the park in which the trail is located. Dallas Trail Network Plan

Trail Right-of-Way Trails can occupy a variety of rights-of-way. Some trails are located wholly within city owned rights-ofway including city parks, greenbelts, creek corridors, and streets. However, this is not always possible with an extensive trail system, and other right-of-way alternatives must be considered. Acquiring trail right-of-way should be a positive process, as public trails can contribute to the success of certain facilities owned by other public entities such as mass transit centers, and private entities such as retail and mixed-use centers. Many of the existing and proposed trail corridors contain right-of-way that is utilized through a lease or license instrument. Utility and railroad corridors The proposed Coombs Creek Trail will be located within existing city-owned property adjacent to Coombs Creek. are the most common types of right-of-way that are not owned by the city. ONCOR and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) have demonstrated their willingness to allow the usage of their properties for public trail use subject to their review and approval. Utilizing ONCOR utility rights-of-way for trail purposes gives an additional function to properties that are perceived, in many cases, as unusable and unsightly strips of land. Utilizing DART right-ofway is in keeping with the goal of promoting clean air and alternative modes of transportation, as several proposed trails will connect into DART light rail stations. The Preston Ridge Trail and the East Dallas Veloway are two trails that utilize ONCOR and DART rights-of-way, respectively.

In some cases, it may be necessary to acquire fee The proposed Northaven Trail will be located within a ONCOR simple title to a proposed trail corridor in order to utility right-of-way. preserve the corridor from development that may render a proposed trail project impossible. In other cases, trail easements may be an option when working with developments that would benefit from an adjacent trail. It will be important to continue to work with the Development Services Department to improve the city’s ability to secure and preserve future trail right-of-way.

The proposed Chalk Hill Trail will be located in an existing privately held and unused railroad right-of-way. Fee simple acquisition of this corridor will be required to preserve this trail corridor. Dallas Trail Network Plan

Implementation Due to the extensive nature of the trail network, it will be difficult to rely solely on one source of funding for implementation. The primary source of city funding is from the municipal bond program. In addition to bond funds, federal, state and local government grants periodically become available for trail projects. In fact, a large portion of recent trail projects have been funded by grants provided by the Texas Department of Transportation, Dallas County and Collin County. Inclusion of trail funding in the city bond programs increase the likelihood of securing grants and other outside funding. Grant programs typically have specific scoring The Trinity Strand Trail Master Plan, commissioned by the Friends of the Trinity Strand Trail, was presented to the criteria. To ensure the highest probability for Park and Recreation Board in November 2004. acquiring grant funding, it will be important to suggest projects that would rank the highest based on the scoring criteria for the grant program being pursued. For example, grant programs administered by the Texas Department of Transportation typically fund projects that provide significant transportation enhancement benefits. As such, long linear trails that would connect schools, parks, employment centers, and transit centers score better than a loop trail or nature trail. Trail partnerships , such as friends groups, will increasingly become important to successfully implement the Dallas Trail Network Plan. Several friends organizations have already been established to support various trail projects. Friends groups are effective in creating public Friends organizations are capable of employing direct fund- advocacy for a particular trail project, as they are raising campaigns, such as the Cottonwood Trail’s “Make able to focus their resources to assist the city in Ends Meet” campaign. developing, maintaining, programming, and marketing of a specific trail. The ability to acquire private funding becomes more attainable when an active and organized advocacy group exists. A listing of current trail advocacy partners can be found on page 6.
