Where

UTSA Downtown/Multimodal Center

My idea to improve this place

Help VIA fund a BRT line along Fredericksburg and out to the Medical Center with dedicated lanes so it can be a system worth using.

So that people could... 

So people can commute downtown from the city's "second downtown."

Because I want San Antonio to be...

Easy to reach for all the professionals, students, and medical visitors in the Medical Center.

I'm skeptical about BRT. It is just a bus and there is zero real evidence that it spurs real development. I'd rather see the money put into more frequent buses and cut out that pull them out of traffic to load.

UTSA Downtown/Multimodal Center, 0 Kms

Put an actual square/plaza in Cattleman's Square. It'll make a great public space infront of VIA's multimodal center and help make the line more attractive to riders.

create park corridors east to west from highway to highway, by turning streets into green spaces with moveable shipping containers.

All of Downtown San Antonio, 0.31 Kms

DIRTY CORNERS that remind me of REAL Mexico where the walks never get cleaned. Especially disgusting are the dark chewing gum spots all over the walks. They unappealing for both tourists AND locals.

all of downtown, but especially the sidewalks at bus stops in front of the Mercado. Even the sidewalks leading to Bohanans are filthy with gum spots and debris., 0.32 Kms

Like the "Hollywood Walk of Fame" in LA, San Antonio can have its own walk of fame. This can based on what San Antonio is also known for and that is being the Tejano Music Capital of the World!
