Burger Stand on the Trinity Trails!?!?

Just saw this tweet from Bud Kennedy:
The new Trinity Trails trailhead at Rogers Road will include a burger stand or cafe--no word yet on operator

UPDATE: It is called The Woodshed and it is a Tim Love restaurant (Lonsome Dove, Love Shack, etc.) Read more about it on Fortworthology.

New Trinity Trail Bike, Pedestrian Bridge near Lancaster

The Phyllis Tilley Memorial Bridge is under construction south of the Lancaster Avenue bridge. The pedestrian and bike bridge will offer a new connection between the Trinity Trails and downtown Fort Worth.

The bridge will span 384 feet and is, according to the bridge's architects, the first stress ribbon-style bridge of its kind in the US. It is a $3 million project and should be completed by the end of November.

More architectural renderings are available on the project's architects' site: Freese and Nichols. Streams and Valleys, which contributed $250,000, to the cost of the bridge also has more information on their site.

NBC Channel 5 had a report on the bridge yesterday that you can view below. The text of their story is available on their site.
