🚴 West Lake Hills eyes new Eanes Creek trail
The Gist: West Lake Hills and the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization approved an agreement Oct. 8 to study a possible new trail along Eanes Creek between Loop 360 and MoPac. The $520,000 study will explore a safer, more comfortable route running parallel to Bee Cave Road, with CAMPO covering 80% of the cost.
Why It Matters: The project could give locals a beautiful new path for walking, biking, and connecting with nature. It’s another step toward keeping West Lake Hills active, green, and connected.
