Hike And Bike Trail

The three-pronged crossing with a plaza the middle will bridge the Butler Trail's biggest gap.

The City of Austin dedicated nearly $1 million to improve safety along the Lady Bird Lake trail near Rainey Street. The families of two men who drowned in the lake last spring pleaded for the changes near the popular entertainment district.

The three-pronged pedestrian bridge — the first of its kind in Austin — will finally complete the 10-mile Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail around Lady Bird Lake.

The Butler Trail off Lady Bird Lake will host 150 goats for the next three to four weeks. They'll be eating up poison ivy and other invasive plant species.

TxDOT plans to take 1.2 acres of the park on the north shores of Lady Bird Lake for construction and maintenance, requiring a detour of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail for at least six years.

A new quarter-mile stretch of the hike and bike trail closes the last gap in the lakeside loop.

The installation "Territories," a series of pipes, tubes and drums, is currently spread out over a section of the southeastern corner of the trail near Lakeshore Boulevard and Pleasant Valley Road. It will be on display for at least six months.
