At its January 14 meeting, the Addison City Council approved a resolution supporting the Town’s application to the North Central Texas Council of Governments' (NCTCOG) 2025 Regional Transportation Alternatives call for projects. The application seeks federal funding for bike lanes along Westgrove Drive and Quorum Drive, designed to enhance connectivity to the DART Silver Line Station and Cotton Belt Trail. Proposed improvements include two-way cycle tracks and bike boulevards to create high-comfort bicycle facilities suitable for users of all ages and abilities.
In early 2024, Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. was engaged by the NCTCOG to handle bikeway selection, develop 15% concept plans, initiate a short-term pilot project, and develop an opinion of probable construction costs (OPCC) for two corridors in Addison. Kimley-Horn’s analysis estimated the total OPCC for the project at $7,678,330. If selected, federal funds would cover 80% of the cost of the project and Addison would be responsible for the remaining 20% or $1,535,666.
