Summary
The City of Austin is considering a proposed interlocal agreement with Travis County to design, construct, and manage a multi-use trail at the Onion Creek Wildlife Sanctuary. Located at 4435 East State Highway 71, this initiative aims to enhance connectivity within the Onion Creek Greenway Regional Trail System. The agreement, which has no fiscal impact, follows a previous partnership approved in February 2016 for a similar project that expired in 2019. The new agreement, developed without an expiration clause, will allow for final construction permitting upon approval. This legislation is significant as it promotes public access to recreational spaces and supports regional trail connectivity, benefiting residents and visitors alike.
