Flower Mound Town Council unanimously approved a contract for the project, which is worth nearly $194,000, during the Jan. 5 meeting.
The overview
Apex Concrete Construction will work on the next phase of the trail project, which costs a little over $193,981, according to town documents. Funding for the project will come from the town’s 2025 bond, which was approved by voters last May.
The second phase of work on the trail will include the removal of 582 square yards of existing sidewalk and addition of 1,654 square yards of concrete trail, per town documents. Additional improvements to the trail include five new pedestrian ramps and the replacement of trail sections that do not meet Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards.
Work included in the second phase of the project will start from Lexington Avenue and continue to Shadow Ridge Middle School. The third phase of the project will extend the trail through the middle school and complete the connection of the town’s Bluebonnet Trail system, according to town documents.
Looking ahead
Construction of the second phase is expected to begin in January, per town documents, and last between four and six weeks.
