The first phase of the Kerrville River Trail began in August 2011 with engineering and site work between the Riverside Nature Center and Louise Hays Park.  Trailheads and public parking will be provided at both the center and the park.  Phase 1 funding is provided by voter approved bonds for the project.  Below are the master plan sheets for the trail's entire length, which is planned to extend from near Coronado Drive on the west end to Kerrville-Schreiner Park on the east end. 

The City Council and the Kerrville Economic Improvement Corporation (EIC) have been working together to fund a variety of utility and quality of life projects.  Funding for $18 million in utility projects and $8 million in parks and river trail improvements are being planned.  The EIC has agreed to use part of its 4B Economic Development Sales Tax revenues to fund $1 million in utility improvements, $1 million in parks and river trail improvements, and to make bond payments for the issuance of $7 million to fund parks and river trail improvements.  Debt service for the bond funds is being structured so that the impact to the EIC revenues will be minimal.  The spreadsheet shown here shows how the new debt service payments would affect the 4B revenues.
