Got this today from Senator Kirk Watson
Thank you for writing to me about the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve (BCP). I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me. One of the City of Austin's best assets is its effectiveness at protecting its natural environment, including the BCP.
My office has reached out to BCP staff regarding your concerns. Based on these conversations, I understand BCP staff is currently revising the draft Public Access Chapter in order to take public comments into account. The second draft should be posted in January 2018.
BCP staff have reassured our office that the updated Public Access Chapter does not recommend any changes to the currently-approved public access uses as described in the original 1999 Public Access Chapter. I have asked them to keep our office apprised of any further changes, and we will continue to follow this issue closely.
I appreciate that you took the time to write. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance to you in the future.
