Where

Westside of downtown -Main Plaza to UTSA-Needs a lot more focal attention to place-making, safety, pedestrian friendly, signage, feel of "old San Antonio" in future design/developments

My idea to improve this place

Recreate the feel of the old San Antonio in the western part of downtown with wider sidewalks, reduced traffic lanes, branding of & old San Antonio & Corozon & .Bistros, cobblestone, flower mkts, etc

So that people could... 

play, dine, be entertained, feel safe, have wayfinding for locals and visitors and ...so there could be connectivity between the rest of downtown (Riverwalk/Alamo)--a holistic experience that captures the "espiritu" of downtown and the flavor of blended cultures.

Because I want San Antonio to be...

a downtown where locals and visitors, public and private sector can enjoy living, working, being entertained,....SA has always been dynamic...now is the time to stop planning and make it happen!
