Oak Ridge explores trail connectivity to Bandera Farms but will stop at jurisdictional boundary
Summary
Council discussed improving trail access and connectivity toward Bandera Farms in neighboring Summerfield, but members stressed Oak Ridge would build only to its jurisdictional border and not commit funds beyond the town line without partner agreements.
Councilors discussed opportunities to leverage nearby trails and regional projects to expand access for Oak Ridge residents. Member 3 suggested improving connections to Bandera Farms, noting an adventure playground is planned there; others warned that Bandera is outside Oak Ridge and the town should not assume operational or funding control for a park on another jurisdiction's land.
Bill and other members recommended pursuing connectivity discussions with neighboring jurisdictions and DOT for shoulder improvements or trail links that stop at the town line; council agreed Oak Ridge can explore connections but should not commit money or management responsibilities to a park outside its jurisdiction without formal agreements.
