Congratulations to @dentonparks for winning nearly $11 million to construct the future Pecan Creek Trail! Staff worked hard to get this project ready and to make the case for why it's an important project that deserved this funding award.

Replacing 25% of trips under 5 miles with e-bikes would be like taking 338,000 cars off the road. New e-bike impact calculator is a boon for city planning.
