[Jeb Boyt]

Austin Metro Trails & Greenways is hosting a community meeting on rails with 
trails Thursday, August 19th, from 6-8 p.m. at Nuevo Leon restaurant, 1501 
E. 6th.  The meeting will consider the bicycle and pedestrian trail proposed 
as part of Capital Metro's Commuter Rail Urban Service that would run from 
Leander to the Downtown Austin convention center.

The meeting will feature a discussion with Mia Burke of Alta Planning + 
Design on the development of rails with trails nationally and opportunities 
in the Austin area.  Ms. Burke has developed numerous bicycle, pedestrian, 
trail, and corridor plans and has managed the public process, design and 
implementation of over 200 miles of new bikeways, thousands of bicycle 
parking spaces, and a bikeway maintenance program.
