Sugar Land (Shirley Ann) Trail breaks ground with multiuse spine planned
Summary
City staff said the Shirley Ann (Sugar Land) Trail has broken ground and is conceived as the trail system's spine with glow-in-the-dark elements; staff gave a projected completion date of October '27 and said the path is expected to be a shared-use trail about 10 feet wide (staff will confirm final width).
City parks staff described the recently broken-ground Shirley Ann Trail (also referred to as the Sugar Land Trail or Ditch H) as the backbone of the local trail network and said it will enable off-street travel that passes under major highways. "It goes under Highway 6 and under Highway 59," staff noted, describing the route and connectivity to Imperial Park and Constellation Field.
Staff said the trail includes shared-use path design features and glow-in-the-dark elements and reported a projected completion of October '27, while adding that timeline and final dimensions remain subject to confirmation. Board members asked about width and multiuse design; staff said they believe the trail will be approximately 10 feet wide and will invite confirmation of that figure once plans are finalized.
The trail is presented as a long-term regional connector; staff encouraged resident interest in the ribbon-cutting and promised future updates on progress and specific technical details such as final width and surfacing.
