Draft Shoal Creek Trail: Vision to Action Plan Released

We’re pleased to release the draft Shoal Creek Trail: Vision to Action Plan, which lays the foundation for implementing major improvements to the existing 3.9-mile Shoal Creek Trail, extending the Trail by nearly 9 miles, and connecting it to the Walnut Creek Trail north of Highway 183. Ultimately, the extended Shoal Creek Trail will become part of a 30-mile continuous “Big Loop” of urban trails traversing the city from Lady Bird Lake to Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. The draft Plan is the result of a yearlong public process in partnership with the City of Austin Public Works Department, McCann Adams Studio, the Community Advisory Group and Technical Advisory Group.

We welcome and appreciate your thoughts and feedback and have extended the deadline for comments to allow more time for review. So that we may best collect and share your comments with City decision-makers, please submit your comments by Friday, August 31. View the summary presentation here.
