Like a streetlight, yellow lights would signal that the light is about to turn red, while a steady red light would signal drivers to stop so pedestrians may cross. </p><h2>About the Guy Grant Trail</h2><p>The City of Victoria was awarded a $3 million project from TxDOT’s Transportation Alternative grant program to fund the future 0.67 mile trail starting at Guy Grant Road and running along Greenbelt Park, across Mockingbird Lane and Leary Lane, to connect to the Lone Tree Creek Hike &amp; Bike Trail. Currently, the project is in design with the construction estimated to begin in calendar year 2027.</p><h2>How does the project align with other planned improvements on Guy Grant Road?</h2><p>The City has begun engineering and right-of-way acquisition for a street improvement project on Guy Grant Road between Salem Road and Mockingbird Lane. Utility construction is expected to begin in fiscal year 2027, followed by street reconstruction in fiscal year 2028. </p><p>The street reconstruction aspect of the project will include a sidewalk on the northeast side of the road. The future Guy Grant Trail will connect with this new sidewalk, creating a continuous route for active transportation.</p><h2>Stay connected</h2><p>The Guy Grant Trail is part of the City’s Active Transportation Master Plan, which provides recommendations for improving Victoria’s transportation network for pedestrians, cyclists and other non-motorized travel.
