Texas Energy Lab

Growing Green Spaces in Urban Centers. The Trail Foundation (TTF), partners with the City of Austin to protect and enhance the Ann and Roy Butler Hike & Bike Trail on Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake). Beth Carroll, landscape architect and Project & Creative Director for TTF, chats with hosts Kyle Frazier and Sherren Harter about the award-winning, sustainable bathrooms along Butler Trail, the Boardwalk that has become an integral part of downtown Austin, and the 15 projects TTF is taking on over the next five years as it celebrates its 15th anniversary. Solving the potty problem on the trail? Accommodating parks and transportation in the middle of downtown? Protecting green spaces amid population growth through public-private partnerships? Looking for inspiration in urban parks nationwide? We cover it all!
