The Austin Public Works Urban Trails Program is currently developing the Walnut Creek Trail System. This trail network is being designed for people walking and people on bikes. Once complete, it will be 19 miles long and connect the Govalle Neighborhood Park in East Austin to the Balcones District Park in North Austin.

The MoKan Trail urban trail will follow a short section of the former Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MoKan) Railroad in east Austin. Once complete, the 1.5-mile trail will connect an existing protected bike path on Pedernales Street to the Southern Walnut Creek Trail system.

The Red Line Trail is a planned, 32-mile trail network that would follow Capital Metro’s Red Line Rail from Downtown Austin to Leander once completed.

The Urban Trails program is working to connect Austin’s trail network to the city of Manor, located east of Austin.

Austin Public Works’ Urban Trails Program is currently developing the Country Club Creek Trail, which is located in southeast Austin. Once complete, Country Club Creek Trail will be 3.5 miles long and link Mable Davis Park, home to Austin’s first public skate park, to Roy G. Guerrero Metro Park, located on the east side of Lady Bird Lake.

The Growth Concept Map assembles compact and walkable activity centers and corridors, as well as job centers, and coordinates them with future transportation improvements. These centers and corridors allow people to reside, work, shop, access services, people watch, recreate, and hang out without traveling far distances. Within them, the design and scale of buildings and the design and availability of parks and gathering spaces will welcome people of all ages and abilities. They will be walkable, bikable, and connected to one another, the rest of the city, and the region by roads, transit, bicycle routes and lanes, and trails. The activity centers and corridors included on this map identify locations for additional people and jobs above what currently exists on the ground. Unlike more detailed small-area plan maps, the Growth Concept Map provides broad direction for future growth and is not parcel specific. Centers that are already established by existing small-area plans, such as those for East Riverside Drive or Highland Mall, are drawn to reflect those plans. Centers without small-area plans are simply shown with a circle, indicating scale and general location. Specifying boundaries for these centers may occur through small-area plans or general guidelines for implementing this plan.
