On Oct. 16, 2025, the San Antonio City Council approved an ordinance awarding a construction contract to Easy Bell Construction LLC for the Himner Creek Trail connection to Flour Court Drive, with a contract value not to exceed $11,477,500. The council said funding for the project comes from the city's 2022 general obligation bond program and the tree preservation fund.

The city secretary read the ordinance summary on the council agenda: the contract is for construction of the Himner Creek trail segment to Flour Court Drive for the Parks and Recreation Department. Councilmember Alderete Gabito said the project will add to the city's trail system and stressed local benefits, saying "es tan importante para que la gente tenga acceso a espacios, no solamente para su salud fsica, sino para su salud mental." The council moved, seconded and voted to approve the ordinance; the transcript records the motion passed but does not list individual roll-call votes.

Council comments described the project as an extension of the city's trails network that sits between District 7 and District 8 and tied the work to broader investments in parks and green space. Alderete Gabito referred to the award as an investment in public open space and repeatedly thanked Parks and Recreation staff for advancing the project.

The ordinance authorizes the city manager to execute the contract and use the identified bond and preservation funds for construction. The agenda item did not include a staff presentation and the council approved the measure after brief remarks. The transcript does not state a construction schedule or anticipated completion date.

No amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting transcript; the council moved directly to a vote and the ordinance passed. The council later recessed for an executive session; the record shows no action taken during that session relevant to this contract.
