Katy Trail News

Probably no one in Dallas is more passionate about The Katy Trail than Trail Manager, Bill Williams.  You can see Bill riding up and down the trail on his golf cart, and if you have a chance to take a ride with him, he can provide you with fun details all up and down the trail.   Bill is reaching out to the community including City Council for help finding grafitti "taggers."  According to Bill, the specific tags "OVER", "OVER 730" and "Over CTK" have been put on 52 different spots along the Trail.  This prolific tagger is not the only one.  Bill is asking anyone with information about the grafitti taggers or who spots suspicious activity to contact The Friends of the Katy Trail at 214.303.1180 or office@katytraildallas.org.
