Community Conversations for Waterloo Greenway Phase III
April 28 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Join us! We’re launching a new phase of connectivity for our community, families, and businesses. Be a part of our next Community Conversations for Waterloo Greenway Phase III design on April 28 and May 2.
Waterloo Greenway Phase III: 4th to 12th Street will complete a 1.5-mile, universally accessible trail along Waller Creek, creating a continuous north-south green corridor through downtown Austin. This will connect Waterloo Park, near the University of Texas and State Capitol, to The Confluence and Lady Bird Lake. This phase links entertainment, jobs, dining, and cultural destinations—expanding safe, car-free options for getting around while enhancing nature for residents and visitors alike.
What improvements are possible for this next phase?
- A continuous, universally accessible urban trail connecting 4th Street to Waterloo Park.
- Restoration of Waller Creek and reconstruction of a native Central Texas landscape.
- Guardrails and lighting throughout for improved safety.
- New public gathering spaces including creekside decks, boardwalk trails, and immersive gardens.
- Connections to existing streets and sidewalks at key locations, stitching together UT, the Innovation Zone, the Red River Cultural District, the Historic 6th St. District, the 5th St. Mexican American Heritage Corridor, the Downtown Rail Station, Austin Convention Center and more.
