DFW residents have been patiently waiting for the sprawling new pedestrian and cycling trail that will connect the metroplex. While the trail is still a work in progress, the trail now has an official name. After asking North Texas to help pick the new name, it was announced this week the trail will now be called “DFW Discovery Trail.”
The new 66 mile trail that will connect Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Irving and Grand Prairie won’t be completed until 2024, but at least now the metroplex knows what it will be called. Back in the spring, the North Central Texas Council of Governments narrowed it to two possibilities and asked residents to vote on the new name. According to NBC DFW, “DFW Discovery Trail” narrowly beat out “DFW Trinity Trail” with 51% of the vote.
While the trail has been in the works since 2013, planning began back in the 1990s. Now, it is less than two years away from being completed. Hopefully the DFW Discovery Trail is worth the wait.
