The Austin City Council took a first step today to extend the much-loved Hike and Bike Trail surrounding Lady Bird lake to close the gap between Congress Avenue and I-35 on the south side of the lake. Currently, hikers, bikers, runners, walkers, and other trail-goers must brave the shoulders of riverside drive for more than a mile to complete this part of the loop. With the extension, the hike and bike trail will now run uninterrupted from I-35 to Mopac on both the North and South shores of Lady Bird Lake.The Hike and Bike trail . . .
