Along N. St Mary's or McCullough between Locust and Woodlawn, will work elsewhere too!
My idea to improve this place
Many shops have nose-in parking and no sidewalk. We’ll use Hasher Markings to stripe all that parking to be 45 angle back-in parking. We’ll install concrete planters wheelstops with adapted plants.
So that people could...
Be safer and enjoy walking in a more attractive neighborhood. Back-in parking is safer for motorists getting back on the road. These streets are scary for pedestrians because they don’t have their own space (sidewalk). The planters can double as benches. Cycling will be safer.
Because I want San Antonio to be...
Pedestrian friendly and help local shops by encouraging more stroll-in customers. Greening the all-brick and concrete facades would greatly add to the quality of the street experience. Our strees are underutilized public space.

We dearly need sidewalks in the Shearer Hills area, specifically on Shannon Lee which is often used as a shortcut between San Pedro and McCullough; preference would be a sidewalk on one street side

Add shade/protection/cover and benches for all Via bus stops. Making little old ladies stand in the summer sun for 30 minutes for their bus is ridiculous.

Along the North River Extension from the Pearl Brewery to Downtown, set up work out stations like they have at the medical center every so many feet.
