The West Dietz Creek Trail project is part of the city\u2019s 2025 Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails, or PROST, Master Plan, adopted by City Council in December 2024. The community identified trails as a high-priority need in the plan.<\/p>\n
Funding the project<\/p>\n
The West Dietz Creek Trail Project is being funded through federal and local dollars. Approximately $1 million is being administered through the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization<\/a> and the Texas Department of Transportation\u2019s<\/a> Transportation Alternatives Program.<\/p>\n The program calls for an 80\/20 split, so the city is paying a $250,000 match, funded by designated trail development funds. City staff identified construction management services as a need to meet federal standards, which increased the project\u2019s cost by $81,319. An additional $23,570 in contingency funds and annual parks and trail development funds is also available for the city\u2019s portion of the project, according to agenda documents.<\/p>\n Looking ahead<\/p>\n The trail\u2019s design will take about nine months. Construction is anticipated to begin in December, according to an email from the city.<\/p>\n “><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Schertz officials are one step closer to opening a new trail and completing pedestrian crossing improvements along West…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":120515,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2507,52507,5692,47878,362,52505,82,84,83,367,52506,34000,52504],"class_list":["post-120514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-guadalupe-county","tag-halff-associates-inc","tag-local-government","tag-mobility","tag-northeast-san-antonio","tag-pedestrian-crossing-improvements","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news","tag-schertz","tag-schertz-city-council","tag-walkability","tag-west-dietz-creek"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"chart](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768259469_349_thumbnail.jpeg\")
