Where

All of downtown San Antonio

My idea to improve this place

Create and enforce building and lot maintenance codes for downtown, especially for ground level properties.

So that people could... 

walk around in a safe, well-lit downtown without having to look at vacant lots and derelict buildings that the owners will not lease or maintain.

Because I want San Antonio to be...

Vibrant, alive, beautiful, and full of opportunities for its citizens.

Use old pics of SA to cover up empty buildings. Much like the oversized pic at the building housing the Esquire bar.

Need dedicated bikeways along the San Antonio River where pedestrian traffic is heavy and/or bicycles are prohibited, in order to complete the 13-mile river trek.

People love to sight see while going to shop or eat. I know you have vendors but why not have dancing or drumming to attract additional attention to passer buyers!
