What is KUTS?
The Kerrville Urban Trail System (KUTS) is a non-profit grassroots organization that promotes walkability, community vibrancy and cohesion among businesses and people through a system of independent walking/biking trails in districts throughout Kerrville.
KUTS - Clay South
Clay South is the pilot trail project, extending from Depot Square at Schreiner Street to the Kerrville Farmers Market and future Heart of the Hills Heritage Center at Water Street
The goals of KUTS - Clay South include:
- Improve walkability and bike-ability throughout Kerrville
- Create a trail model that may be replicated in other parts of Kerrville
- Harness the youthful, vibrant energy realized on Clay Street and incorporate into City branding and identity development
- Recognize and celebrate existing qualities that make Kerrville special
The Trailblazer
The Trailblazer was our initial fundraising event held on Friday, November 2, 2018 at the Plant Haus 2 on Jefferson Street, on a beautiful Hill Country night. The event included a chef-prepared pig roast, beer and wine, live music, a series of PechaKucha presentations (www.pechakucha.org), an introduction to the KUTS concept, and a silent auction. Through the generous support of ticket purchasers, sponsors, and donors, The Trailblazer raised nearly $15,000 in funds to be applied toward trail design.
Concept Master Plan - Clay South
KUTS designers Alissa Priebe and David Cater of OUTPOSTS-LA have completed the Concept Master Plan for the first pilot trail for KUTS: Clay South!
KUTS is currently working with business owners on Clay South who have expressed interest in implementing specific elements of the Concept Master Plan. Once these elements are planned out, we plan to host another public engagement event similar to The Trailblazer - with your help we can make it happen!
