The Williamson County Commissioner's Court approved the Williams Tract Master Plan Tuesday January 26, 2010. The plan is a blend of community desires and county needs that capitalizes on conserving and protecting the natural open spaces. The budget for constructing the plan improvements is approximately $23 million. Funding for improving the park will be phased and financed through grants and bond monies. No time line has been established for implementing the master plan. Williamson County is currently working on a restoration plan removing the exotic species to return the site to its pre-European settler state.
Thanks for including bike trails in the plan.

I am beyond excited to see this park become a reality.

I am so thankful too that invasive species will be removed and native species restored. We need more land to be conserved as so much of it goes into new home and commercial developments where little or none of the native plants or animals are saved.
ReplyDeleteI see one of the posting comments mentions bike trails in the plan? I looked at the plan and did not see bike trails listed. Offroad trails similar to lake georgetown goodwater, Pace Bend, Walnut Creek, Barton Creek Greenbelt.. etc. would be a great draw for the park..
ReplyDeleteI am at a loss as to why this plan doesn't show any bike trails at all? At the public input session last September, there seemed to be quite a bit of interest in having bike trails at this park. Extremely disappointed if this not to be the case.
