Trail user warns Cedar Park of high‑speed micro‑mobility hazards and conflicting signage
Summary
Roger Falk told the council Brushy Creek Trail has increased high‑speed motorized vehicle use, that Cedar Park signage conflicts with county signs, and that the combination creates a safety risk for children and strollers.
A frequent user of Brushy Creek Trail urged the council to address micro‑mobility vehicles that can travel at high speeds on a trail not designed for them. Roger Falk told the council that recent city signage appears to contradict Williamson County and Fern Bluff signage and said, “It’s an accident waiting to happen,” pointing to blind curves, small children and strollers on the path.
Falk offered to return with a presentation, including photos and a PowerPoint, and the mayor asked him to provide contact information so staff could follow up. Falk noted enforcement issues and the lack of insurance or clear assignment of responsibility for operators of high‑powered motorized two‑ and four‑wheel vehicles on multi‑use trails.
