Palmview is getting a new hike and bike trail.

The trail will run half a mile near Bentsen Palm Drive and La Homa Road, and is expected to cost about $230,000.

The Texas Department of Transportation will pay $170,000 for the planning phase and the rest of the cost will be covered by the city, the state and federal grants.

Survey participants said they wanted the trail.

"A walking trail is a common one, especially now that health is so important and health is an issue and a challenge in our area, region, and culture," Palmview City Manager Michael Leo said. "A walking trail is something that we hear often."

The city plans to break ground next year.
