Leander_EndofLine_Walking_Trail_Link_to_Future_TOD
There is something surreal about a Park&Ride facility sitting in nothing but miles of Texas prairie. Austin is apparently funneling growth to Leander. Hopefully what takes shape is a less auto-dependent boomburg than what currently exists along the 183 growth corridor. This walking trail is a good sign that they are thinking of this the right way. Unfortunately, the Park and Ride is not tying in very well to a regional road network...and in fact is competing head to head with the 183 toll road which bypasses it. I have a lot of questions about the logic of aligning the transit corridor along a new tollway..Anyone in Austin care to fill me in?
