The project will study the potential to establish a connection from the San Antonio River Walk to the San Pedro Creek Culture Park to enhance pedestrian and bicycle connectivity between the two destinations. The potential connection will transform Savings Street into a linear park running under Soledad St., North Main Avenue, and N. Flores at the River Walk level. The project adds water features, hike and bike amenities, public art, and other elements creating a link that will promote redevelopment opportunities in the immediate project area. Funding from other public and private collaborators will enable the project to achieve the ultimate vision and maximize the economic development potential of the project.
