Update on the widening of White Road in Heath in the Rockwall Enterprise-Success. This project will include a bike lane.
The widening will not go South of Country Club road, so that section of White road remains closed.

Feb 24, 2009 Park Board Meeting at 7:30
The Heath Park Board voted last night to put off any further discussion on connecting the Highlands of Heath Trail to Antigua Bay until July. the Board felt that they had too much on their plate with the Terry Park construction, the work on White Road that will include bike lanes... (more on this when details are available), and the widening of FM 740 that will also include bike lanes (see Rockwall Herald-Banner article). There was also concern that there was no money available, although no money was asked for. So I'm not sure why money was a concern.
This does not mean efforts to connect HH to AB will stop. It just means the Park Board won't discuss this topic in meetings until July. There will still be efforts to obtain an easement from the two property owners to allow a trail to exist. If the City does not want to participate because of financial or liability concerns, then this project will go forward through other avenues.

The 2009 Federal Stimulus bill COULD fund the expansion of FM 740 from Horizon Road to FM 1140.
From Kim Dobbs (Assistant City Manager):
The plans for the FM 740 widening do bring the road closer to the entrance of Heath Crossing away from the current T-intersection. The shift in the alignment begins just south of the Sh...epherds Highlands entrance.
The plans for the widening do include six-foot paved pathways on either side of the road. We were not able to make the pathways wider due to right-of-way limitations.Read More
