The Trail Conservancy has scheduled a ribbon-cutting and community celebration for the grand opening of the Rainey Street Trailhead, part of the Ann & Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail. The $1.1 million project connects the trail to Rainey Street and includes seating areas, a stage, natural tunnels and mazes, and other amenities to serve visitors to the area. The ribbon-cutting will take place at 8 a.m. Friday, with appearances by Mayor Kirk Watson and City Council Member Zo Qadri. The community celebration will take place 9-11 a.m. Saturday and will include family-friendly games, music by Bidi Bidi Banda and appearances by assorted University of Texas football players, with UrbanSpace donating 10 percent of all food sales to cover maintenance costs for the area.
