Riney Road East Improvement Project
The purpose of this project is to widen Riney Rd to its full roadway width in coordination with the opening of a new DISD elementary school. The Riney Road East Improvement Project will include two segments of concrete roadway. The first segment to be widen consists of approximately 1310 linear feet of street along the frontage of the G. Roland Vela Soccer Complex. The second segment to be widen consists of 270 linear feet along the frontage of two single family residential lots located on Riney Road.
The project will also consist of a 10-foot-wide concrete hike and bike trail. Once constructed, the hike and bike trail will tie the new DISD elementary school property to the City of Denton Northlakes Park trails system. The hike and bike trail will require a prefabricated pedestrian bridge to cross an existing drainage swale and will connect to a concrete sidewalk East of the softball fields.
