New Look for Cambrick
We are thrilled to announce that as of today - we are under construction! Thanks to generous contributions from the City of Dallas and Uptown Dallas Inc., we are able to build a beautiful new plaza at the Cambrick entrance. Currently that stretch of Trail is undeveloped; consisting mostly of gravel. Our plans will add seating, trees, and colorful landscaping.
Cambrick Street meets the Katy Trail about halfway between David's Way at Knox and Snyder's Union, our largest plaza on the Trail. More specifically you can find it north of Fitzhugh and south of Blackburn streets. For those that participate in the Katy 5K, it is the entrance that takes the route off the streets and on to the Katy Trail so expect a warmer welcome to the Katy Trail when you participate this year! (More on our 20th Anniversary Katy 5K coming soon!)
This project has been part of our master plan for quite some time and we are thrilled to be able to turn this long-term goal into reality. The timeline on this project is 90 days making the completion date sometime in late April. As always, safety is on the forefront and we will be taking precautions to ensure Katy Trail users experience as little disruption as possible. The Katy Trail will remain open in this section during construction.
