We’re excited to announce the next phase of the Trail Improvements Project will begin soon!

Construction Start: week of November 17, 2025

Estimated Duration: approximately three weeks (weather permitting)

The new Sunset Plaza will be located along the trail, just south of the Coles Crossing Swim Center. This next phase will add comfortable benches, colorful landscaping and fresh trees – the perfect place to pause and enjoy the trails you love!

At this time, we expect the trails to remain open during construction.  We urge the public to observe all warning signs and barricades until the project is complete for your safety and the safety of construction crews. 

We’ll share regular updates here and through text alerts as work progresses.

Thanks for your patience and excitement as we continue to improve our community trails!

MUD 365 has completed its inspection of drainage infrastructure underneath the trails. While they did identify some necessary maintenance and repairs, MUD 364 does believe those efforts will not impact the trails themselves. We’ve therefore made the decision to proceed with Phases 2 and 3 of our Trail Project without any further delays. The updated general schedule for each phase is detailed below. Please remember that this schedule is tentative and subject to change.

• Phase 1 (Cypress Hall Drive to Coles Crossing Drive): currently underway and expected to be complete by mid-January
• Phase 2 (Tylermont Drive to Coles Crossing Drive): January 15 – March 11
• Phase 3 (Coles Crossing Drive to Latticevine Drive): March 12 – May 16

We are updating this page regularly. Please check back for the latest on the project.

The contractor is progressing swiftly with construction of Phase 1 of the Trail Project! We anticipate the contractor will begin pouring concrete on the sections of Phase 1 that connect to Coles Crossing Drive the week of December 16. The contractor will then pour the sections that connect to Cypress Hall Drive the week of December 23 and the first week of 2025. This preliminary schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions. Check back here for future updates.

Construction of the Trail Project will start up again soon! The contractor will begin working on forming the Phase 1 trail within the next week and will begin pouring the concrete shortly thereafter. We anticipate Phase 1 will be completed in 4 to 5 weeks, weather permitting.

We are waiting for information on what, if any, repairs are needed to drainage infrastructure underneath the trails in Phases 2 and 3. At this time, we do not know how long Phases 2 and 3 will be delayed but are working diligently to keep the project moving forward. We hope to be able to have the information we need to make a decision on how to proceed in the next few weeks.

The Board has heard the community’s frustration with the progress of the Trail Improvement Project and provides the following update on the project schedule:

• The trail rehabilitation project was originally intended to start over the summer. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the necessary permissions to begin work until the fall.
• The sidewalk along Coles Crossing Drive (near Bowden Creek Drive) will be poured and reopened within the next week. The Board hopes this will alleviate pedestrian traffic to/from Sampson Elementary.
• Before the trail was demolished, we had to make assumptions about the conditions of the ground beneath the trail. Our schedule and the subsequent trail closure was based on those assumptions. Once the contractor removed the existing trail, they discovered unforeseen conditions that required further testing and potential modifications to the construction of the new trail. This testing is nearly complete. The District’s landscape architect expects to receive the information they need within the next week to determine if any changes are necessary.
• Simultaneous with the start of MUD 364’s trail project, MUD 365 discovered that critical drainage infrastructure underneath the trails needs to be repaired and potentially replaced. To avoid costly repairs to newly poured trails, we have been forced to stop work on the trails while we determine the extent of the drainage repairs. MUD 364 is coordinating with MUD 365 to align the schedule for the drainage repair work with the remainder of MUD 364’s trail project.

While the Board understands the community’s frustration on the lengthy trail closure, please know that we continue to press the trail project contractor to work swiftly and are committed to keeping the community informed on the progress and timeline going forward.

Please refer back to this page for future updates on the project and timeline for reopening the trails. The Board will provide an updated general schedule for each phase in the next update.

Demolition of the entire MUD 364 trail system is complete and construction of Phase 1 of the new trail is set to begin within the next two weeks. As a reminder, the entire MUD 364 trail system remains closed until all phases of the project are complete. Please help us keep our project on track by adhering to the closure and staying out of fenced areas, for your safety and the safety of others.

The Board is aware that the sidewalk closure along Coles Crossing Drive, opposite Cypress Hall, has created an inconvenience for children walking and biking to Sampson. We have asked the contractor to complete that stretch of sidewalk as soon as possible to provide more space for pedestrians. We hope to have it reopened in about three weeks, weather permitting.

We will continue to post updates as the project progresses, so please check back regularly.
