We are in the final stages of completing the Trail Project!

The contractor has completed initial construction of the entire project. The District has been working with the contractor to identify areas that need to be touched up before the project is officially complete.

The contractor will replace selected concrete panels throughout the trail system that are cracked or otherwise damaged. Unfortunately, this will result in portions of the trail to be cordoned off while the contractor cuts and replaces the individual panels. Weather permitting, the contractor will begin this work on Monday, May 19 and anticipates the trail being fully open by Saturday, May 24.

Please respect all flags and barricades during this time so the contractor can complete its work as quickly as possible.

The Board thanks the community for its patience.

Phase 2 of the new trails is now open for pedestrian traffic. Phase 2 is located from Tylermont Drive to Coles Crossing Drive by the lap pool.

Phase 1 of the trail system opened in Mid-January. Phase 1 is located from Cypress Hall Drive to Coles Crossing Drive.

There are site furnishings to be added including benches, garbage cans, drinking fountains and dog/pet waste stations. These are being installed upon receipt from the manufacturers. Landscaping and new signage will follow at a later date.

As the trails open, please remember to pick up after your pets. E-coli bacteria from pet waste is the number 1 contributor to Cypress Creek contamination. A clean Cypress Creek benefits us all.

Thank you for your patience as we strive to deliver a quality and lasting trail system.

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.
