After saying that the original trail section has been more successful than imagined, Lakeway City Council on Oct. 15 approved funding for the second phase of the Lakeway Boulevard median trail.

The new 2,100-foot trail section will stretch from Cold Water Lane to Crestview Drive. The section will connect to the existing 2,500-foot median trail, which runs from the intersection of Lakeway Boulevard and Lakeway Drive to where Lakeway Boulevard enters Lakeway Estates

"I think [the trail] has added a lot to the community of Lakeway," Councilwoman Dee Ann Burns Farrell said. "I just love the idea and am very, very proud of it."

City Council unanimously authorized up to $49,500 in parkland development funds to build the second phase of the trail.
