Connecting San Marcos greenbelts to the northeast towards <br />Kyle and Austin's "Walk for a Day" Trail will make long distance, inter -urban recreation <br />opportunities a reality. Many existing city -owned parks already fit into this vision. A greenbelt <br />master plan will ensure that the larger goal of contiguous greenbelts will be factored into the <br />process as parks are acquired in the future. <br />0 -5 years <br />- Provide multi -modal path from 1 -35 to River Center <br />- Provide access to east side of 1 -35 <br />- Connect Purgatory Creek to Downtown (CM Allen Parkway) <br />5 -10 years <br />- Along Blanco River: Five -Mile Dam Park to Blanco Shoals <br />- Along Blanco River: Blanco Shoals to U.S. 80 <br />- Connect downtown to conference center and hotel <br />97 <br />
