Spread This Idea
Where
All over downtown
My idea to improve this place
Line every single street with shade trees.
So that people could...
Enjoy gorgeous tree lined streets, cooler summertime temperatures in the shade, lower costs due to lower cooling expenses.
Because I want San Antonio to be...
Fantastic, vibrant, comfortable and walkable like Portland, Seattle, Austin, Providence, Sydney, etc.

Our city has made great progress but there are still a lot of tree haters especially in older less prosperous neighborhoods. One reason might be the cost of tree maintenance.
