An estimated $1.4 million project calling for completion of the Garlic Creek Trail system is what Buda city leaders plan to submit for possible state funding.
But some Buda City Council members worried the proposed project, if completed, could negatively impact school bus service for residents in nearby neighborhoods.
John Nett, Buda City Engineer, introduced plans to complete the Garlic Creek Trail as a possible submission to the Texas Department of Transportation’s call for 2019 Safe Routes to School funding. Buda city leaders voted 7-0 to move ahead with the first phase, which requires a city to submit a preliminary application that will be prescreened by TxDOT. If the project advances to a second phase, Buda officials could then provide a more detailed application to contend for roughly $8 million in state dollars.
