Spread This Idea

Where

All of downtown san antonio

My idea to improve this place

A light rail! Wishful thinking, sure, but Dallas has an excellent light rail system and every time I use it I think, Man, San Antonio really needs this . And obviously more bike lanes.

Because I want San Antonio to be...

I want downtown to be accessible by all, and I want it to be more convenient for tourists, whose money keeps the city alive. (flickr photo by VeloBusDriver)
