East Austin Hike & Bike Trail

Posted on: June 19th, 2009 by John Spae No Comments

A hike and bike trail is coming to East Austin!  The portion that goes through East Austin is called the Southern Walnut Creek Hike & Bike Trail. If you have east Austin property you’ll find this pretty interesting.  It is the third phase of a big project the city is working on to create an alternative transportation route through the city.  The project is being handled by the City of Austin’s Public Works department because it is an alternative transportation route.  The city received an 8 million dollar federal grant to create this artery for bicycles and foot traffic. East Austin property owners will have anther way to get around.

The trail will be a 12 foot wide concrete path to accommodate bicycles.   I’ve talked to a Public Works department official that told me the third phase is in the preliminary engineering phase currently and moving into the design phase in the next 6 months.  They expect to start breaking ground hopefully 18 months from now.  They have started to set the alignment for the trail that will mainly follow Walnut Creek through the city near east Austin property.  The portion that is the Southern Walnut Creek Trail should go behind the YMCA on 183 & 51st and then go southwest down to Govalle Park and then connect up to the Town Lake Trail.

It’s exciting to see this kind of park development on the East Side!  I’ll update this post when I hear more.
