On Saturday, Aug. 22, the City of Austin and Shoal Creek Conservancy will celebrate the completion of projects around the North University, Heritage and Rosedale neighborhoods that will make biking and walking in these areas easier and safer.

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 22 

• Time: 9 a.m.  

• Location: Entrance to the Shoal Creek Trail near 31st Street 

The work to improve the “middle gap” of the Shoal Creek Trail between 29th and 31st streets was completed three months ahead of schedule and includes a new segment of the urban trail running along North Lamar Boulevard. This segment provides another alternative to a section of trail that is narrow and rugged.  

The Shoal Creek Trail connectivity gap project ties into recently completed neighborhood bikeway improvements in the North University, Heritage and Rosedale neighborhoods.  

These projects use elements such as asphalt speed cushions and humps, signage and wayfinding markings to support safer, slower streets and improve safety. 

For more information about the project, please email MobilityBonds@AustinTexas.gov or call 512-974-2300.
