Incredible trail progress, happening live.
The Trinity Forest Spine Trail (phase II) is well underway—and it’s hard to miss. The one-mile elevated portion running along US175 is the future of green space access for Pleasant Grove. The newly opened Lake June bridge provides the first pedestrian access across the highway between the DART station and the Pemberton Hill neighborhood.
Thanks to the transformative partnership with TxDOT, the unsafe and outdated Lake June bridge was recently demolished in a single night. Check out TxDOT’s video below!

Southern Dallas Sees Real Change as The Loop Dallas Comes to Life
Huge investment is happening in southern Dallas — and the Trinity Forest Spine Trail is at the heart of it.
A new feature in The Dallas Morning News spotlights how The Loop Dallas is transforming access and opportunity in the Pemberton Hill and Pleasant Grove communities. Once separated from the rest of Dallas by aging infrastructure and limited mobility options, residents are now seeing renewed connection — thanks to the development of the Trinity Forest Spine Trail, a 9-mile segment of our 50-mile active transportation system.

The Trinity Forest Spine Trail will soon connect White Rock Lake through the Great Trinity Forest and into southern Dallas, tying into the AT&T Trail and major community hubs like the Lake June DART station and Crawford Memorial Park.
Infrastructure improvements like the full reconstruction of the Lake June Road bridge, now including protected bike lanes and sidewalks — are creating safer routes for residents who have navigated the old, crumbling bridge for decades just to get groceries.
Councilmember Jaime Resendez, who grew up in the area, says the impact is already visible: “We used to be ignored. But these improvements are thoughtful, foundational, and finally making space for the people who live here to thrive.”
With over $90 million being invested south of I-30, The Loop Dallas is committed to equitable, community-led transformation. Residents like local teacher and cyclist Jesus Serrato, say these trails are about more than recreation — they represent access, health, and belonging.
Good, safe infrastructure can truly change a community.
In southern Dallas, that change is already underway.
Thank you for your continued support.
See you on the trails,
Philip Hiatt Haigh
Executive Director
The Loop Dallas
