Assistant director previews Trails Masterplan, emphasizes design standards for future trails

At its March 9 meeting in Marble Falls, Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Jake Eason presented an overview of the Trails Masterplan, outlining proposed design standards for future trails in the city.

Eason described the presentation as a masterplan overview that will guide trail design standards going forward. The minutes record that the presentation touched on "design standards of future trails," but provide no further detail about specific alignments, estimated costs, or timelines.

The presentation was delivered as part of the agenda's "Updates, Presentations, and Recognitions" section. Commissioners present included Chair Michele Loper and Vice Chair Cathy Thomas; no formal action on the Trails Masterplan was recorded in the minutes. The record does not include public questions or staff responses related to the presentation.

The commission did not vote on the masterplan at this meeting. The presentation appears to be an informational step in a longer planning process that will likely require future public engagement and formal action before any design or construction begins.

Next steps and any dates for additional public outreach on the Trails Masterplan were not specified in the minutes.
