Where

Shannon Lee Street

My idea to improve this place

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

So that people could... 

walk in safety in the area and to reach the trails in the Olmos Park area.
There is a growing number of children in this area and families who walk with their children in the evenings; a sidewalk would ensure more safety than when using the street itself.

Because I want San Antonio to be...

a more family-safe city. Speed bumps would maybe do the job, too.

Great idea. I often drive along Shannon Lee and would be far more likely to walk if there were a safe sidewalk.

Shannon Lee Street, 0 Kms

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.
