Cottonwood Creek Trail Extension

The Cottonwood Creek Trail Extension in Plano is a completed new construction project valued at $1,500,000. Located at 4344 Jeker Dr in Collin County, this development covers 338,460 sq ft of public land. The City of Plano, TX, with Lance Knox listed as the owner of record, commissioned the work to enhance local recreational infrastructure. The project scope includes a 12-foot-wide concrete trail, a 135-foot boardwalk, and short retaining walls equipped with handrails.

Adams served as the design firm of record for this initiative. The construction timeline began in March 2020 and concluded in March 2021. This schedule represents a 365-day build window, which is longer than the 212-day median scheduled build window for new construction filings in Collin County. The estimated cost of $1,500,000 is above the county median of $800,000 for similar projects. However, the computed cost of $4 per sq ft is below the county median of $120 per sq ft.

Bonita L Anderson is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project utilized public funds and was situated on public land. This geographic designation indicates a lower risk of flooding compared to areas within designated flood zones.

The TDLR record shows that TDLR closed the project file in March 2021. This action marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The registration date was May 2019, preceding the start of construction. The project status is officially listed as Project Closed, confirming that the administrative and review phases were completed according to the filing dates.
