AUSTIN, Texas — Capital Metro (CapMetro) and the City of Austin plan to increase the ways that Austin FC fans can get to Q2 Stadium.
A planned 1.7-mile bike path called the Red Line Trail will connect Braker Lane to the northern Walnut Creek Trail. CapMetro says this will make it easier for soccer fans to access public transportation and other trails from the stadium.
The trail will also connect to the future McKalla and Broadmoor stations on the CapMetro rail line.
CapMetro said the City of Austin's Capital Delivery Services Department is developing a portion of the Red Line Trail in partnership with Austin Transportation and Public Work's Urban Trails Program. Funding for this trail segment comes from the 2016 and 2022 Austin Mobility Bonds.
The Red Line Trail will be built in four segments. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2026.
