How are the trees in the Woodland Trail segment (below Edgecliff Terrace) going to be protected?
The City of Austin has standard tree-protection procedures and specifications to guard trees and their root systems during construction. In addition, the design and construction specifications will be customized for construction in this sensitive area. The trail may change from decomposed granite (DG) surface to an elevated surface at key tree locations to further protect these root zone areas. During construction large wooden mats will be placed as a temporary road surface to distribute the vehicle loads and minimize compaction of the root zone areas.
