Austin Parks Board Approves Controversial Zilker Park Vision Plan.
The Zilker Park Vision Plan, which includes three new parking garages, a land bridge over Barton Springs Road, a welcome plaza, and new hike and bike trails, has been approved by the Austin Parks Board and will head to Austin City Council this summer. The plan faced pushback from the public, with concerns raised about the amount of new construction and the impact on the park. The plan is a guide and does not include detailed design, construction plans, or budgeting for the future of the park.
