The scope of work specifically includes the construction of sidewalks, driveways, curb ramps, and other pedestrian-related facilities.

The scheduled build window for this project is 639 days, which is longer than the 103-day median for renovation projects in Bexar County. The cost per square foot is calculated at $8, a figure that is below the county median of $85 per sq ft for this type of work. Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2026, following the initial registration in March 2026. The project involves public funds and public land, reflecting the municipal nature of the investment in neighborhood connectivity.

The median household income in this area is $50,865, and the median owner-occupied home value is $164,700.

Residents and visitors should note that the project is in the planning and review phase, with physical construction set to start in the spring of 2026. The registration status confirms that the project is formally tracked by state authorities, but no construction is underway. The final completion date remains targeted for December 2027, allowing for a substantial period of design finalization and pre-construction preparation before ground is broken.
