Where
Highway 90 at Steves/Mission
My idea to improve this place
Performance space and Trail head. Connect nearby neighborhoods to the Mission Reach and/or provide a destination by hosting markets or performances at the spacious Hwy90 underpass at Steves/Mission.
So that people could...
build community beyond the typical community center in poorer neighborhoods. The trail marked in the images included starts at the Underpass and goes up Mission to cross the train tracks. The trails follows the tracks back to the highway, over to Roosevelt and South Presa. This will provide a safe connector to the trailhead. Please use the images included for reference. The images are screen grabs from Google Street View.
Because I want San Antonio to be...
Safe for families, friendly and an inviting place for residents who do not venture beyond their immediate community.

I think it would be excellent if someone would build portable water/snack stations around the hike and bike trails. In Austin, the Parks and Rec dept. puts out coolers of water for runners/cyclists.

The hike and bike trails around the new reaches of the San Antonio River... i.e. where Blue Star is that leads to the new paths around the river, 0.7 Kms
This under-utilized city icon should be used to serve as a public land (and water)to the residents and visitors of San Antonio. I propose the area of the land and water to be used as a city pool/park.
