MKT East Waco Rails to Trails Connection - City of Waco

The project shall construct a 12 ft. wide reinforced concrete shared use trail for approximately 5,650 linear feet that can support safer mobility options for both pedestrians and cyclists. City planners have included the old East Waco MKT route since the 1980s in long-term studies of how the city's trail system could be expanded from the river corridor to the rest of Waco. In the Spring 2016, City officials purchased rights to 46 acres (3 linear miles of property) from the Union Pacific Railroad for $600,000. The project is included in the city's 2023-2027 capital improvement plan (CIP). As of September 9, 2022, a design engineer has been selected. Bidding is anticipated to take place in the spring of 2023. * *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
