Bummer! The U.S. Department of Transportation for now turns down the application by Dallas County officials, supported by many trail advocates, for $4 million in federal “TIGER” funds. A grant of that amount would have helped build a “connector trail” between the Raccoon River Valley Trail in Perry and the High Trestle Trail in Woodward.
