A first look: 12.9-mile Five Mile Creek Trail would link Oak Cliff neighborhoods with LOOP | SharonFGrigsby
Now comes the harder part of the project, the trail, which Trust for Public Land wants to begin building next year and complete by 2030.
The almost 187,000 residents living near Five Mile Creek include about 57,000 children. Black residents account for 61% of the area; 33% are Latino. Low-income households make up 51% of the population. The trail would connect residents not just to other Oak Cliff neighborhoods and additional trails, but to 17 parks, two colleges, two light rail stations, three hospitals and 10 schools.
The end of the line for the DART Red Line at Westmoreland Station. The new Five Mile Trail will start just west of here. In addition to private fundraising, Robert Kent, Texas state director of Trust for Public Land, said his group is applying for money from newly available federal and state sources. Johnson has considered several options, including using a portion of the $20 million in city sales tax revenue currently earmarked for its racial equity effort.
