City unveils new state-of-the-art bike track in North San Antonio

A new bike track for riders of all skill levels is now open in San Antonio at McAllister Park.

In case you missed it: The trail, called “The Grove,” officially opened to the public on March 18 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

It’s located at McAllister Park off of Buckhorn Road, near the pump track.

Sorting out details: The Grove features both a beginner’s course and a more advanced section, Ramos said at the ribbon cutting.

It’s approximately two football fields in length and was designed by Action Sports Design, an international consulting firm that helps oversee the construction of skate parks, bike trails, and more, according to their website.

Looking ahead: In the future, councilmember Marc Whyte said there are more biking projects on the way.

"The flow trails at McAllister Park are just one of six bike projects that are gonna be happening here in San Antonio,” he said.

Texas families now have until March 31 to apply for education savings accounts, judge rules

Texas families now have an additional two weeks to apply for the state’s new education savings account program, a Houston federal judge ruled March 17.

What's happening: U.S. District Judge Alfred Bennett ordered the state comptroller’s office to extend the application deadline to March 31 over concerns that no Islamic private schools had been greenlit to accept state ESA funds. In two lawsuits filed in early March, four Muslim parents said they felt deterred from applying for education savings accounts because the Islamic schools they send their children to were not among the 2,200 schools authorized to participate in the program.

Parents previously had until 11:59 p.m. March 17 to apply for the program.

Latest update: In a March 17 news release, the comptroller’s office confirmed that applications would be accepted through March 31 in compliance with the judge’s order.

Over 229,000 students had applied for the $1 billion program as of March 17, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock said. The state will use a need- and income-based lottery system to determine who is accepted.
