The resolution recognizes Pflugerville for its extensive and well-maintained trail network, which spans over 71 miles and is noted for having the highest number of public trails per capita in Texas. With 94.8 percent of residents living within a half mile of a trail and 70 percent using them regularly, the trails not only promote exercise and recreation but also enhance social connections within the community. The network is designed with safety in mind, featuring amenities such as parking, lighting, and restrooms, and serves as a venue for cultural activities and community events.
In light of these accomplishments, the resolution designates Pflugerville as the official Trail Capital of Texas, highlighting the city's commitment to improving the health and well-being of its residents. This designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage by the legislature, underscoring the long-term recognition of Pflugerville's efforts in promoting an active lifestyle and reducing traffic congestion through its trail system.
