EAST DALLAS VELOWAY


The East Dallas Veloway (also called the Santa Fe Trail in some parts) is a new part of the Dallas trail system that will connect Randall Park to White Rock Lake, and then south to Fair Park.

FUNDING
Cost of constructing the trail will be paid for using a combination of state and local funds.  Phase I is funded by City of Dallas-CMAQ funds and Phase II by Texas Department of Transportation STEP funds.  This leg of the trail all the way to Fair Park is paid for.

SCHEDULE
Below is a tentative schedule for the East Dallas Veloway.  Construction is scheduled to begin in December 2006, and to be completed a year later, December 2007.  Note that this schedule can change depending on various design issues. There is an issue regarding a DART light rail line crossing near Commerce Street that will need to be resolved (at grade versus grade-separated crossing).
