The Urban Trails program is working to connect Austin’s trail network to the city of Manor, located east of 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 Urban Trails dataset describes a specific type of pedestrian and bicycle-user infrastructure. The ideal design of an Urban Trail is an off-street, 12 foot wide concrete path that can accommodate a variety of trail users including bicyclists, pedestrians, wheel chair users, parents with strollers, kids on razor scooters and so on. Since the first Urban Trails Master Plan was adopted in September 2014 not all existing trail segments in this dataset strictly comply with the guidelines described in Appendix A: Trail Design Criteria of the Urban Trails Master Plan. The Urban Trails network is intended to be a part of the greater Active Transportation Network and may relate to the on-street bicycle network or the sidewalk network, as well as City of Austin parks. In this dataset, many Urban Trail endpoints connect to the City of Austin’s streets dataset or the City of Austin’s parks dataset.

This dataset provides detailed data for urban trail segments constructed within the full purpose jurisdiction of the City of Austin starting in calendar year 2017.

This dataset supports the SD23 performance measure HE.C.5: Number and percentage of linear miles of newly constructed sidewalks and urban trails that lie within census tracts with no low levels of leisure-time physical activity among adults aged 18 years or older.
