Wow , San Antonio
CONGRATULATIONS SAN ANTONIO MOUNTAIN BIKE COMMUNITY!
The 2022 Parks Bond Committee voted to recommend the following amounts for MTB and BMX projects:
- $500,000 for the completion of the outer bike skills loop, pump track enhancements, and lighting (McAllister Park).
- $3.25 million for MTB and BMX projects (Citywide). Specifically, these projects include the Pearsall Park singletrack and flow trails, Eisenhower downhill trails, and the O.P. Schnabel Park Expansion Bike Park as well as the BMX track at Pearsall Park.
NEXT STEPS
- Jan 12, 2022 – Parks Bond Committee Recommendations presented to City Council
- Feb 10, 2022 – City Council approves bond projects, with modifications if they decide, and call for the bond to be placed on the ballot.
- May 2022 – San Antonio residents vote on bond for approval
What should the MTB Community do during this time?
Our job is not over. The MTB community must reach out to the City Council members to express our excitement at the 2022 Parks Bond Committees recommendations for funding MTB and BMX projects across the city, especially City Council members in Districts 4, 8, 9, and 10 where the projects are located. It is important to contact ALL City Council members because all will be voting to approve the Parks Bond Committee recommendations and any of them can call to move funds around and de-fund the MTB and BMX projects. Write or call and tell your City Council member how much these projects are needed in San Antonio and will benefit the physical and mental health of residents, the overall San Antonio economy.
