Spread This Idea

Where

2300 S Gevers/1200 E Highland Blvd (4 corners)

My idea to improve this place

beautify aged strip center in Highland Park,bring popup cafe,internet cafe/little library, re-purpose empty lot into community garden and encourage use of bike lanes linking to Bode Community Center

So that people could... 

enjoy the neighborhood space that is in the center of Highland park. Utilize existing bike lanes to bring awareness to neighborhood kids cyclists. Work with small businesses to paint murals and add small rock gardens to help clear up drainage ditches. Enjoy and underused space that is ideal for pop up cafes

Because I want San Antonio to be...

a city that supports neighborhoods that have historical ties to this city. So close to downtown, this could be an up and coming neighborhood that needs help maintaining the integrity of its houses and small businesses.

Highland Park Blvd. should be streetscaped w/trees to provide shade for biking & running. The same for Steves Rd. and add a dedicated bike lane. To allow for easy biking access to the River.

Highland Park Blvd. & Gevers St. & Steves Rd & Gevers St., 0.37 Kms

Skateboarders use the slope of Steves Avenue between Walters and Hackberry every night, all night. Let's give them their own place to exercise and be safe, with ramps, picnic and seating areas!

There are ZERO bookstores south of the downtown line. Not one. There should be a used bookstore that buys and sells books to the community. The McCreless market area is a great up and coming location.
