Taking the safer path: Agreement to extend sidewalk in Buda

By Samantha Smith

Buda city council took another step toward enhancing pedestrian safety in early June by approving an agreement to extend a pre-existing sidewalk along FM 967 to connect to the sidewalk at the Bella Vita neighborhood on the other side of the tracks. 

Buda Parks and Recreation Director Drew Wells said the city only needs the agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) due to the sidewalk being constructed in its right-of-way.
