Where

Sunset Station

My idea to improve this place

Use the "Rolling at the Rails" connection and make Sunset Station a roller skating complex. It could eventually have a roller board park, in-line skating areas, even roller derby facilities.

So that people could... 

have a destination downtown that would provide active, healthy entertainment for parents and their children. It could also be an entertainment venue for roller skating exhibitions. The music and activity would be a huge draw for families.

Because I want San Antonio to be...

a wonderful place to live as well as visit. Creating vibrant neighborhoods with activities, restaurants, etc. is the only way to make that happen.
