What’s next
According to the city documents, chal- lenges for the project include: • Bank erosion • Floodplain management • Invasive vegetation Solutions for these challenges, according to the master plan, include using raised boardwalks, reconstructing banks with plantings, and removing invasive species, along with installing amenities and signage for better trail usability. Segment 1 of the trail is currently in the design stage and includes a 10-foot concrete multi-use path along the Dry Comal Creek connecting Walnut Avenue to Landa Park. City sta are still seeking public comment through Aug. 9 on the plans for segments 2 and 3. Any suggestions can be emailed to tci@nbtexas.org.
The existing Dry Comal Nature Trail, estab- lished in 2003, is a 2.25-mile loop trail located o Loop 337. The trail o ers wildlife viewing and recreation opportunities and is the only mountain bike trail in the city’s park system, according to city documents. In 2013, a bond program included potential funding for the Dry Comal Creek Trail, but it was not funded due to insu cient remaining funds. Public interest in the trail remained high, leading to the development of the master plan.
The next steps in the update of the Dry Comal Creek Trail project include:
Completing the feasibility study by August
Presenting concept to the City Council in September
Securing funding for right-of-way acquisition
Securing funding for construction
Finalizing design within a year and a half
Beginning construction phase, estimated to take 1-1.5 years
The trail will cut through central greenways.
