We noticed some questions as an offshoot of our Gallery 1701 post, on the subject of the Trinity Trails. Questions asking what the surveying markers and signs announcing a trail re-route are all about. We’ve learned that the Trinity River Vision Authority will be doing some work to both the trail alignment and the trailhead in this location. What’s happening is that the trail in this area will be reworked to be less steep and provide better visibility – as you come under University, the current alignment and grade risks slamming you blind into a runner or cyclist coming the other way. This will be corrected. In addition, work on the trailhead will bring ADA accessibility and a slate of upgrades including a fishing pier. On the whole, the changes will make this part of the trails both more attractive and safer.

Thanks go to Laura at the TRVA for giving us the heads-up!
