Williamson County Launches the Planning Process for a Countywide, Multi-modal Greenways Plan
Williamson County is excited to launch the public engagement phase for its countywide Multi-modal Greenways Plan, a transformative initiative aimed at creating a safe, accessible, and connected multi-modal network of greenways across the county. The plan envisions an integrated greenway system that links neighborhoods, schools, parks, and key destinations, while preserving the county’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
This planning effort is federally funded through the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant program, which supports projects that enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety, improve mobility, and reduce roadway conflicts. In addition to the Multi-modal Greenways Plan, Williamson County is also working on a separate, but coordinated planning effort, the Countywide Safety Action Plan, which will focus on improving roadway safety, including reducing and eliminating serious-injury and fatal crashes affecting all roadway users.
For the Multi-modal Greenways Plan, Williamson County, in partnership with the planning consultant Design Workshop, Inc., will engage residents, local leaders, and stakeholders to shape a vision for the greenways plan. The entire project planning effort will occur from January 2025 – April 2026. Throughout the process, there will be three public workshops to gather feedback.
