Faulkey Gully MUD Trail and Sidewalk Partnerships
Hike and Bike Trail Initiative
Faulkey Gully Municipal Utility District (MUD) (the “District”) has formed a collaborative partnership with Harris County and Malcomson Road Utility District (MRUD) for the construction of a Hike and Bike Trail. This trail will extend from Spring Cypress Road to Guernsey Road, providing residents with enhanced recreational opportunities and improved connectivity throughout the community.
Project Funding Structure
To support the construction of the Hike and Bike Trail, both the District and MRUD have agreed to contribute $800,000 each, resulting in a combined investment of $1,600,000 total. Harris County has committed to covering the remaining costs necessary to complete the project, ensuring adequate resources for its successful completion.
Beautification Fee and Community Support
As part of the overall funding strategy, Faulkey Gully MUD introduced a voluntary $5 Beautification Fee, added to residents’ monthly bills. This initiative was designed to encourage community involvement and help the District achieve its initial funding goal for the Hike and Bike Trail project.
Grant Road Sidewalk Partnership
With the Hike and Bike Trail funding goal met, the District is now working with Harris County on a new sidewalk partnership along Grant Road. The Faulkey Gully MUD Board of Directors has expressed their intention to maintain the Voluntary Beautification Fee. The funds generated will support the Grant Road Sidewalk Partnership and future sidewalk initiatives currently under discussion, further contributing to the District’s ongoing commitment to community improvement and accessibility.
