A Dallas alley clean-up and trail conversion program offer to put paved pathways through unimproved alleys.
An example of trail conversion is in the Cochran Heights neighborhood where a paved sidewalk now runs through a once overgrown alley to Cochran Park.
“It’s really nice. It looks really inviting. I feel like it if was an overgrown path I would not want to go to the park at all,” said resident Rebecca Edwards.The current city budget includes $4.8 million in federal COVID-19 relief money for unimproved alley clean-up. A briefing to be presented to the Dallas City Council Transportation Committee Tuesday said 581 of the alleys had been cleaned as of January 31, 2022. Clean-up is to be completed by September 30, 2022.
The briefing lists 33 alley segments that could be candidates for the type of trail conversion that was completed in Cochran Heights two years ago.
