MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM. BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE; JULY 20, 2010
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE HIKE & BIKE TRAIL MASTER
PLAN
BACKGROUND:
At the June 15, 2010 meeting, staff presented the Hike and Bike Trail Master Plan to the
Council. The plan shows how the existing trail and sidewalk system links parks, schools
and businesses in the city and how future trails will link even more parks, schools,
businesses and other cities in the area.
Hike and bike trails and the linkage of the park system in Grapevine has been one of the
highest priorities of citizens of Grapevine in the past three citizen surveys relating to
parks and recreation. The City has been very fortunate to have received approximately
$5 million in grants from the state and federal governments for the planning and
development of hike and bike trails in the City. The City currently has over 26 miles of
hike and bike trails.
The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board approved the master plan for hike and bike
trails at their May 13, 2010 meeting. The plan is attached for Council review.
In closing, the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board and staff recommend the Council
approve the hike and bike trail master plan.
