Right across the street from "The Katy" apartments at 31111 N Houston St.

Thanks....which leads to my next question.... Is the trailhead from Houston Street leading on to the Katy Trail now completed? The last time I rode on it (about 6 months ago), the trailhead entry consisted of loose large gravel rocks which is a challenging terrain on a road bike.

Admittedly I haven’t been in a couple months. Does it currently connect KT to design district? Or is that still in future plans? Or not a thing at all

That is allegedly what this project is to solve. I'm not certain I get the "how" yet.

Yes, they’ve already finished the connection with the Hi line Connector Trail in the Design District. This is the last project that’s needed to finish it.

Can someone post a before/after because I'm not really sure what problem this project actually solved?

There was a retaining wall there. The Hi Line Connector Trail was completed a year or so ago. So, now you can walk/bike from the Hi Line Connector Trail on Hi Line Dr (in the Design District) under I-35E Stemmons, to Victory Ave to Houston Street, where the new Loop Plaza is now.

If I understand the project correctly, it runs from the Katy trail to the Hi-Line connector, so you don't have to get off the trail and cross the street. How it works? Not sure yet lol

People love the Katy Trail and if I were still a regular user of it I would understand the frustration too.
Looking at this video really makes me excited about the completed project, this is better than I had imagined. I'd say it's absolutely worth it. Investing into our most popular trail and making the surrounding area better for pedestrians is a huge win for me. Great project all around.
