    In the Loop

    Dallas trails are a few tweaks away from a 50-mile magic loop

    Dallas is one step closer to having a trail system that links throughout the city. Circuit Trail Conservancy (CTC) has raised $23 million in private and non-city funds for The Loop, which would provide a contiguous 50-mile premier urban trail network encircling the core of Dallas.

     

    The Loop would serve as an alternative transportation system connecting existing and planned hike and bike trails, bus stops, DART lines, economic centers, and neighborhoods.

     

    CTC chairman Jeff Ellerman said in a release the system just needs a few tweaks.

     

    "Dallas has a plan for the Dallas Integrated Trail Circuit, which comprises nearly 130 miles of wonderful trails," he said. "The problem is this plan may take many years to complete, and our trails don't connect. What's missing are some key connectors to link these fragmented trail systems."

     

    They realized that, by adding four key connectors, the system could form a 50-mile loop around the center of Dallas, stretching from Richardson to White Rock Lake to South Dallas to West Dallas.
     
    CTC was tasked by the City of Dallas to raise at least $20 million that it would then match. The total cost of the project is $56 million.

     

    Over a decade ago, the City of Dallas set out to design and build a master trail system to link neighborhoods to transportation hubs and economic centers, making Dallas more livable and pedestrian friendly. The Hike and Bike Trail Network Master Plan has been adopted, and the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) adopted the Dallas Integrated Trail Circuit plan (Dallas ITC).

     

    PARD then approved the public/private partnership strategy to complete Dallas ITC, and Circuit Trail Conservancy was formed to design, construct, and operate an integrated trail system, as well as raise funds to make the plans a reality.

     

    Many miles of trails have been constructed, but there are still key aspects that need to be added in order to link existing trails and connect neighborhoods:

     
       
    • Leverage Dallas' current trail system by creating a contiguous 50-mile recreation amenity
    •  
    • Create alternative and safe transportation routes
    •  
    • Stimulate economic development and attract new residents
    •  
    • Connect people to nature and to be known as a 21st-century city
    •  
     

    The four proposed connectors total a little more than 10 miles:

     
       
    • The Trinity Forest Spine Trail, about 8.7 miles long, connects White Rock Lake and East Dallas to South Dallas, all the way down to the Great Trinity Forest and to destinations there, including the Trinity River Audubon Center, Texas Horse Park, and the Trinity Forest Golf Course. Part of this path includes the existing Santa Fe Trail and the Joppa Connector Trail and the Trinity Forest Trail System.
    •  
    • The Circuit Trail Connection Trail and Bridge, approximately 1 mile, connects the shared-use path and bridge structure between the Katy Trail to the Trinity Strand Trail.
    •  
    • The Baker Pump Station Gateway is about a 1-mile shared-use path connecting the Trinity Strand Trail to the Trinity Skyline Trail.
    •  
    • The Trinity Skyline Trail Link is about a 1-mile shared-use path connecting the existing Trinity River Skyline Trail to the Trinity River Audubon Center and Trinity Forest Trails.
    •  
     

    Mike Terry, a CTC board member, called The Loop "the next big, immediate project for Dallas." Fellow board member Larry Dale emphasized that there are no right-of-way issues involved, thus keeping the costs down.

     

    "Since we already have a lot of the trails built, let's connect what we already have," he said.
     
    CTC board members — chairman Jeff Ellerman, president Philip Henderson, Larry Dale, Linda Owen, Rick Perdue, Joseph Pitchford, and Mike Terry — contributed to the campaign.

     

    Additional supporters to date include Lydia and Bill Addy, Crow Family Holdings, Lawrence B. Dale Family Foundation, Hunt Realty Investments, Mary and Mike Terry, Gil Besing, Billingsley Family, Jane and Pat Bolin, Cecilia and Garrett Boone, Greg Colvin, Corrigan Family Holdings, Pam and Jeff Ellerman, Headington Companies, Jerry and Philip Henderson, Highland Capital Management, Rhonda and Jim Hoyt, Jordan Family Foundation, Diana and Todd Maclin, Bill and Patricia Miller, Muse Family Foundation, Linda Owen, Dee Ann and Marshall Payne, Jodi and Rick Perdue, Joseph Pitchford, Richardson Bike Mart, Carla and Woody Smith, and more.

    Fugitive News

    Dallas Police Department arrests 99 fugitives in summer crime program

    The Dallas Police Department has a new round of arrests in Operation Justice Trail, a coordinated effort led by Police Chief Daniel Comeaux to apprehend individuals with violent felony warrants, with 99 fugitives arrested and taken into custody during June.

    The program is a partnership between the Dallas Police Department and the United States Marshals Service which began on May 1, with a goal to identify and take into custody violent criminals. During the firest month of May, a nearly-identical haul of 98 violent felons were arrested, and the initiative will continue through the summer.

    “Our goal is simple: to make Dallas the safest large city in America,” Chief Comeaux says in a statement. “We know that a small percentage of violent criminals are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime. By focusing our efforts on these individuals, we are sending a clear message—violence will not be tolerated in our city.”

    These 99 fugitives, who collectively have 616 total arrests for crimes such as Assault on a Public Servant, Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance, Murder, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Sexual Abuse of a Child, Reckless Driving, and Stalking, were taken into custody by the Dallas Police Department Fugitive Unit and U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force between June 1–30.

    Of those 99 fugitives, 22 were women and 77 were men. Three had arrests for Illegal Entry into the U.S., and one had an arrest for Alien Inadmissibility - Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

    Officials told Fox 4 that officers used "a combination of the city’s camera system and old-fashioned good police work" to make the arrests.

    North Texas Crime Stoppers is offering a guaranteed $1,000 reward for tips submitted to the crime stoppers tipline that lead to the arrest of any individual with an existing felony warrant for specific crimes, until August 31.
