Where
all downtown streets and surrounding highways
My idea to improve this place
Pave the highways and streets in and around downtown and other major city streets and highways using concrete and not asphalt.
So that people could...
use the streets and not worry about the city using up resources to constantly resurface roads and highways wasting tax payer dollars. Have more durable roads and not worry about cracks and potholes because of overuse or adverse weather conditions.
Because I want San Antonio to be...
Cost effective. Thing in the long-term and not short-term on what is cheaper at the present. Concrete is more expensive but will save the city so much more in the long-term. (flickr photo by CityofGeneva)

Last summer I left saucers with water all over. Groups could make mosaic bird baths to be left out. Everybody is walking around with water bottles. They'll stop and fill an empty when they see one.

I heard that there once were paddleboats on the river! Lets bring them back and do a similar rental system to the B-Cycle. If not the SA river then definitely San Pedro Creek ... but ideally both.

DIRTY CORNERS that remind me of REAL Mexico where the walks never get cleaned. Especially disgusting are the dark chewing gum spots all over the walks. They unappealing for both tourists AND locals.

all of downtown, but especially the sidewalks at bus stops in front of the Mercado. Even the sidewalks leading to Bohanans are filthy with gum spots and debris., 0.19 Kms
Turn the empty buildings, warehouses, and other structures into more residential condos and lofts with more activity at the street level with retail etc.
