Missouri City approves interlocal agreement for Hunters Glen Park Trail project

Missouri City will partner with the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County with the goal of accelerating the Hunters Glen Park Trail project.

What’s happening?

At a June 1 meeting, the Missouri City City Council approved an interlocal agreement with METRO to reconstruct the Hunters Glen Park Trail project to include an all-weather, ADA-accessible paved trail for pedestrians, cyclists and persons using wheelchairs, after the city received a $1.1 million from the Transportation Policy Council.

The federal funds were given to the city on the condition that they could complete the grant agreement process before fiscal year 2025-26 ends Sept. 30.

To speed up the grant agreement process, the city asked METRO to be the grant recipient so they can “pass through” the funds back to Missouri City using a subrecipient agreement, according to agenda documents.

Zooming out

The Hunters Glen Park Trail connects to METRO’s 98 Briargate transit routes and will offer further access to seven neighborhoods, two schools, a Fort Bend County Library, two parks and Missouri City Hall.

Missouri City officials said reconstruction will begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
