About Me
- Southtown TIRZ Project
- San Antonio, Texas, United States
The project will include curb bulb-outs, making more permanent the existing parallel parking along S. Alamo Street and take the street down to one lane in each direction. The curb bulb-outs will provide several benefits to include narrowed street intersections for shorter pedestrian crossings that will naturally calm traffic speeds, and added sidewalk/curb area that will allow for larger street planting areas outside of the overhead lines. Over 1,600 linear feet of sidewalks and curbs will be replaced or installed along S. Presa and Carolina Streets with bulb-outs to also be used in the 100 block of Carolina Street to better define the street and improve pedestrian crossings.
The costs associated with the Development Agreement for improvements in Southtown are funded through the Inner City TIRZ Fund and will not impact other city funding sources. The Southtown Chamber of Commerce has obtained a loan commitment from community lender Frost Bank to provide up-front financing for the project. The Inner City TIRZ will reimburse the developer for eligible project expenses.
