During his tenure as mayor, Peak was responsible for the development of a system of greenway trails for the city,[4] which were named in his honor after he left office.[5][6][7] The office of Mayor of San Antonio is a non-partisan office, as of 2018.

Greenway
The Howard W. Peak Greenway Trails System is a developing network of approximately 100 mi (160 km) of paved multi-use and accessible trails in the city of San Antonio in Bexar County, Texas. The concept of building a looped-trail system within the city was originally created by Peak, and the system is named after him.[10]
