About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to protect, enhance, and connect the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake for the benefit of all.
About
The Trail Bridge at Congress Avenue updated a decades-old bridge and brought much-needed safety enhancements to the area of the Trail located under Congress Avenue. The new bridge has enhanced pedestrian and bicyclist safety; made the area ADA-accessible; increase the width of the Trail to 14 feet; greatly improved the area's visual appeal; provided connectivity with the Waller Creek area; created a beautiful site from which to view the Congress Avenue bats; and lowered the City of Austin's maintenance costs.
