Unstable peninsulas can be so annoying!
This obviously bothers the City of Austin too, so they have initiated the Shoal Creek Peninsula Stabilization Project. Shoal Creek runs through the west side of downtown Austin and empties into Lady Bird Lake near the Seaholm Power Plant. With major storms, water rushes down the normally-empty creek and right across a small patch of land that carries the Butler Hike and Bike Trail along the lake shore. The banks on both sides are eroding and sometimes that section of the trail is a muddy, wet mess, so I’m glad that the city is fixing this problem.
