Where

Central Core

My idea to improve this place

great Streets. Improve streetscapes in the central core so that streets have hierarchy and uses (pedestrian dominate, bike dominant etc.) All streets should have a design with street trees etc.

So that people could... 

Safely navigate through the urban core while making the core more livable

Because I want San Antonio to be...

I love the idea of a street hierarchy. We need to think beyond the automobile. Pedestrian streets, bicycle streets, and motorized vehicle streets. Great idea.

Central Core, 0 Kms

Start to build traffic to Tobin Center before 2014 so neighborhood is active enough by 2014 to attract lots of residents downtown. Do this by scheduling free outdoor concerts in front of the building.

Do something to control the amount of homeless people and travelers hanging out in parks and other areas. It makes me scared to be in some areas of downtown.

Whole Plaza to climate controlled covered event/cafe area-soft live music and events. Water fountains. Restaurants medium priced. Neon-colorful lighting. Close Alamo St between Crockett and E Houston.

We need more small, locally owned businesses that showcase local products and local artists. Right now downtown feels like it exclusively for tourists. Also, improve our mass transit!
