Commentary: A more connected trail network that goes beyond city limits can help attract tourism to our region and support development along the Interstate 10 West corridor.
Cyclists ride along the extensive network of paved trails that voters have been supporting since 2000.Trails in San Antonio as part of the Howard W. Peak Linear Greenway Trails System just hit the 100-mile mark. Spurred by the vision of former Mayor Howard W. Peak, these trails long ago had the focus of being located along the major and minor estuaries in San Antonio.
Interest has sprung forth regarding escaping these San Antonio bounds with other trails, connecting with those to the north. Those living outside of San Antonio in places like Fair Oaks Ranch and Boerne have begun actively working toward eventually expanding and connecting existing trails in their respective communities — with an eye toward connecting with a possible trail coming up from the south through Bexar County.
This would be a smart investment for the county because trails offer locals opportunities for recreation and exercise, as well as for commuting. A more connected network that goes beyond city limits can also help attract tourism to our region. And it would support the meteoric increase in development along the Interstate 10 West corridor.when the pandemic prompted more people to buy bikes as a means of recreation, more of us have bikes in our garages.
