– Phase III Construction Begins

If you’ve driven down McCommas Boulevard lately, you’ve seen the construction going on.   This is the newest link constructed by the City of Dallas that will eventually connect the Katy Trail with the White Rock Lake trails.   A dedicated lane is being constructed for users to continue north by crossing North Central Expressway via the McCommas Boulevard overpass. 

Eventually, a suspension bridge will be built over Mockingbird Lane, making for easier access to the Katy Trail and providing longer distances for cyclists' routes. 

Entrances on Katy Trail

Two new entrances to the Katy Trail are now open. The recently completed Beasley Entrance at Hall Street is a sweeping staircase that allows walkers and runners convenient access to the Trail, instead of the scrambling up a hill as before. The lushly landscaped entrance is a gift from the Theodore and Beulah Beasley Foundation.

The Tao of Warren is on the west side of the Trail at Armstrong Boulevard and was dedicated on Jan. 1. It is a dual staircase flanking a round seating wall and plaza. Sarah and Jim Hutcheson with their son Nathan made the naming gift in the memory of their son Warren, who was killed at 19 in a car accident.
