Comments: The City of Austin is working on improving this trail between Pease Park and Town Lake, and some improvements are finished. The area from Seaholm Power Plant to Town Lake is nice wide pavement. We only had a small part of the creek to go through that wasn't on a sidewalk. There is lots of new construction between 9th and the Lake, and this could develop into a very nice area if someone cleans up the creek and the brush along the banks, and the wide sidewalk is developed.
