The City of Denton, in coordination with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG),

trail connectivity. In November of 2024, the City of Denton submitted and was awarded construction
funding (in May of 2025) with the NCTCOG TA-Setaside call for projects. These projects propose
improvements with new sidewalks, signal improvements, separated bike lanes, and other safe pedestrian
facilities around the school and other identified trail areas. The current estimated cost includes the design
and survey for the two (2) locations.
The construction costs will be paid for by the NCTCOG TA-Setaside program. The two (2) projects are
Sycamore Trail and Newton Razor Elementary School, for which the program pays 80% of the
construction costs for the projects. The City will pay for the design cost and 20% of the required matching
construction costs, plus any overall cost overages, if any. The overall construction cost awarded to the
City of Denton for the two (2) locations is approximately $7.6 million from the NCTCOG TA-Setaside
program. Below is the cost breakdown per location.
