FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The City of Austin holds a ribbon-cutting ceremony August 24, 2024 to celebrate the completion of the Austin-to-Manor Trail.

AUSTIN, Texas – Hiking and biking from Manor to Austin just became easier.

The City of Austin, in partnership with Travis County and the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), is proud to announce the completion of the Austin-to-Manor Urban Trail project.

The new 2.9-mile extension makes the full Austin-to-Manor trail 5.5 miles long, connecting Ben E. Fisher Park in Manor to the Southern Walnut Creek Trail system.

The newly completed trail provides a safe, comfortable alternative to the existing shoulder lane on Decker Lane, and provides users the unique experience of riding and walking through Walter E. Long Park away from vehicle traffic.

"Our voters tell us by their recent support of Mobility Bonds that they want more Urban Trails in Austin,” Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said. “So we’re getting it done. The completion of the Austin-to-Manor trail is further proof of how we’re creating a world-class trail network that becomes a part of life for Austinites.”

"This trail for walking and biking is exactly the kind of project I hoped for when I championed Austin’s Mobility Bond," said Austin Council Member Paige Ellis, "and I look forward to many more urban trails to come."

“I’m excited to celebrate the completion of the Austin-to-Manor trail,” said Austin City Manager T.C. Broadnax. “This trail is a testament not only to the hard work of our organization, but also a reflection of our commitment to meeting the needs of our residents and neighbors.”

Funding for the trail came through 2016 and 2020 Mobility Bond funding, a CAMPO grant and a Travis County Interlocal Agreement.
