Trail Construction Update Pics
Every time I ride by the new trail construction it doesn’t look like much is happening. I decided to take a closer look and actually discovered more progress down the trail. Here’s a pic of one of the new trails that leads to the southern of the two passages under Central Expressway. Here, you can…

New Bike Lanes On Waterview Drive
Based on the Richardson Bike Route Plan (downloadable pdf), we were expecting this. It’s still a nice surprise to see them actually getting done. If you happen to go down Waterview Drive between Arapaho and Belt Line, you’ll see one less lane for driving (each direction) and a new one dedicated for bikes (and parking).…

Thank You Richardson Voters
The margin wasn’t as large as previous bond elections, but Richardson voters have approved a $66 million bond package. It’s a nice hunk of change, but well worth it. It’s was hard for me to appreciate the value of city improvements and growth until I started riding my bike. Most of them were missed when…

This route will go under Central at the creek…
