Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 4 designates Pflugerville as the official Trail Capital of Texas, recognizing the city's extensive trail network that spans over 71 miles, including 56 miles within city limits and an additional 15.2 miles in its extraterritorial jurisdiction. This network provides significant recreational and social opportunities for residents and visitors, with 94.8 percent of citizens living within a half mile of a trail and 70 percent using them regularly. The trails are designed with safety in mind, featuring amenities such as parking, lighting, and restrooms, and they serve as vital connections between neighborhoods, schools, and businesses, while also hosting various cultural activities.
The resolution highlights Pflugerville's commitment to promoting health and well-being through its trail system, which has made the city a popular destination for those who enjoy active lifestyles. The designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage, reflecting the state's acknowledgment of Pflugerville's achievements in enhancing community health and connectivity through its trail network. The resolution was adopted unanimously by the Senate and passed with a significant majority in the House.
