You may be right, I just wasn't paying attention. I wasn't driving either, btw.
I would really like to see more of this in other parts of Austin. I'd like to see something like this along Williamson Creek and Onion Creek in South Austin. It would be amazing to connect areas of Southwest Austin with Southeast Austin. It's an effective means of transportation besides recreation and is much safer for cyclists.

Bicyclists, prepare to be wowed.
A sparkling new ribbon of pathway has opened in Austin, and it serves up nearly 10 miles of separated-from-the-road pedaling bliss between Govalle Park and Walter E. Long Metropolitan Park.
The 7.3-mile paved Southern Walnut Creek Trail dips, curves and weaves along Boggy Creek and Walnut Creek, crossing five bridges and four bike underpasses along the way. Short spurs connect it to the East Communities Branch of the YMCA, the Austin Tennis Center and Davis White Northeast District Park.
