    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…

    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).…

    I love living in Richardson. In my opinion, it’s the perfect suburban setup that’s nicely tucked between the urban culture of Dallas and vast comforts and conveniences of Plano. Five minutes in any direction will take you to a destination that suits your mood. Although it’s a great city, Richardson isn’t perfect. From a rider’s…

This little connection will join the existing Duck Creek Trail to Huffhines Park, as well as the new Huffhines Recreation Center. From there, is the new route through Mark…

    We just wanted to point out a couple of cool things that we’ve been seeing around town. Of course, we all know about the wild flowers that come in every spring. This year they haven’t been very hearty, but they’re still a nice treat on a Sunday morning ride. We’ve also noticed a nice little…

    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…

From the City Of Richardson site: The sale of the bonds would be used to complete 32 identified projects ranging across the City.…

    You may have heard (or at least seen in the City Of Richardson’s Master Bike Route Plan pdf) that Richardson is planning a route under Central Expressway (US-75) that will connect Spring Creek Trail (on the east side) to the trail on Renner (on the west side). This route will go under Central at the creek…

    In spite of having a scheduling conflict, I decided to swing by the City of Richardson’s Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan: Draft Plan & Public Response meeting last night. The meeting was lead by Michael Massey, Director of Parks and Recreation. Together with Mark Spencer with MHS Planning, they discussed the results of…
