During the Oct. 15 Keller City Council meeting, a design contract was awarded to Fort Worth-based Westwood Professional Services to design the Mt. Gilead Road bike/pedestrian trail.
The details
The plans call for the city to add 1,300 linear feet for a 10-foot wide, 6-inch thick concrete trail, a retaining wall and crosswalk pavement markings. The contract is for an amount of $98,550 from the Parks Capital Improvement Project fund for fiscal year 2024-25.
The work will be done on a .35-mile stretch between Woodborough Lane to Roanoke Road, plus an additional 500 feet north of Roanoke Road to the boundary of the Overton Ridge subdivision.
Stay tuned
The estimated time for design is 28 weeks and after that, the city will take bids on the project. Westwood’s estimated construction cost is $1.06 million.
