Great Springs study aims to shape 100-mile trail

Great Springs Project CEO Garry Merritt said the goal of a projected 100-mile trail system that will run continuously from Austin to San Antonio is to protect the area’s natural waters and improve the quality of life for residents, according to previous reporting.

With that aim in mind, GSP is partnering with the Texas Department of Transportation to administer a Trails Corridor Study, which will identify priorities for each component of the trail.

Mapping it out: There are three different surveys: one that asks what residents would like to see on the trails, another that focuses on which trails are a priority and one to identify how the trails will be used.
