Richardson's piece of the Cotton Belt Trail, the hike-and-bike path that follows the DART Silver Line, carries an estimated $19 million in construction across two projects the city has registered with the state, according to filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The filings, part of the agency's architectural barriers program, also show a former retail building on East Arapaho Road being turned into medical offices and an Italian restaurant planned at a South Sherman Street property.
The trail
The larger trail project, estimated at $13,165,832, covers the path from Waterview Parkway along the Silver Line to a point under the President George Bush Turnpike past CityLine Station.
The second, estimated at $6 million and labeled an alternate alignment, picks up east of the trestle bridge, follows Synergy Park Boulevard to Renner Road, then runs along Renner to pass under the KCS and Silver Line bridge before tying back into the trail.
Both list the City of Richardson as owner and public funding. They were registered Sept. 28 with construction start dates of June 9, 2025, and Nov. 10, 2025, and a completion date of Aug. 31, 2027, for each.

Arapaho Road, Suite 101: A project registered Monday under the name Kudo Care describes a 7,928-square-foot building expansion and interior renovation turning an existing retail building into medical offices.
