After a presentation from Transportation and Mobility staff, the City Council approved an ordinance variation to support the future construction of the Cotton Belt Trail. The typically 12-foot wide, paved multi-use trail, will be built along the DART Silver Line Regional Rail corridor and will span the length of the future DART rail line, 26 miles from Shiloh Road in Plano to DFW Airport.    

Construction of the trail is currently expected to begin in late 2024, with the aim to substantially complete construction in 2026 in conjunction with the opening of the DART Silver Line.
