Where
Nueva Street from Hemisfair to Santa Rosa
My idea to improve this place
Turn this street into a greenspace pedestrian path that will connect Hemisfair to the Mercado!Fill the space with trees, interactive art,places to sit,food vendors, flower markets and green projects.
So that people could...
Connect to the downtown neighborhoods and join the westside of downtown to the tourist areas of downtown. Also San Antonio can rediscover the history west of San Pedro Creek and the lost neighborhood of Laredito.
Because I want San Antonio to be...
Green, culturally responsible, preservation minded and dynamic.

Nueva Street from Hemisfair to Santa Rosa, 0 Kms
get rid of the parking lot and parking on Laredo. Put a public fountain that we can actually use to cool of like they did with Crown fountain in Chicago's Millennium Park

laredo and nueva across from Casa Navarro, 0.04 Kms
Remove the parking and create a greenspace that honors the Tejano community of Laredito that was one there and the Texas patriot Jose Antonio Navarro who's homestead is across the the parking lot.

Close down what is left of Laredo street and make it a pedestrian walkway/park that tells the story of the Laredo Highway that Laredo Street was before IH35.

Replace city asphalt parking lots with Public fountains ... like Seattle's City Center Fountain. They did it and it doesn't even get hot in Seattle!
