No new trail for Berry Creek

A new trail that would have spanned from the future Westside Park south of Berry Creek Highlands to the county’s Berry Creek Park was nixed by Georgetown City Council during a November 12 workshop after council heard resident feedback against a trail running through their neighborhood.
Georgetown is considering two options for trail segments leading from Berry Springs Park and Preserve to the future Westside Park. Proposal 1 shows the trail going around the neighborhood. The first phase of building would include the blue and green sections of the trail. Proposal 2 shows the trail running along the creek and through the Berry Creek neighborhood.
