Actually it’s the neighborhood / list creek limited district that charges, not the city of austin. The hill of life greenbelt access in the nearby Woods of Westlake neighborhood is a bunch of bullshit. Hundreds upon hundreds of cars and greenbelters flood that neighborhood. It’s absolutely crazy over the weekends. Like a fucking festival going on. City of austin put that trail head in years ago and was supposed to temporary. From what I have heard, long game plan was to open major trailhead with parking at the property across from Barton creek mall but obviously, that’s never happened. So now the homeless get that tract all to themselves and the neighborhood has to deal with all the greenbelt traffic. It’s beyond ridiculous. And it’s easy for someone unfamiliar with the situation to just say, oh those rich people in multi million dollar homes complaining etc, too bad. But like I said, it’s beyond ridiculous.
Thread derail. Back to sneks.
