The rarely disputed “Jewel of Austin”, the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail, is getting just what it deserves—more trees.
In a massive effort to improve one of the most heavily used sections of the Trail—the area on the south side of the lake just east of the MoPac Bridge and Roberta Crenshaw Pedestrian Bridge—this currently sparse and exposed stretch will benefit from instant shading.
Town Lake Trail Foundation’s fledgling program, has already sold 39 trees to both individuals and corporations. Putting money behind green ideologies, the most expensive ones went first. Currently, 74 additional trees are available for “adoption.”

Wow, the Town Lake Trail gets better and better! Hopefully the trail extension along the lake will be funded soon too.
