35% Design Community Information Session

The San Antonio River Authority is hosting several community information sessions for the community to provide input on the design progress of the Westside Creeks Ecosystem Restoration Project.

The Westside Creeks Project is a community-based creek restoration effort started in 2008 by the San Antonio River Authority. The project’s focus is to restore 11 miles of creekways that were channelized as part of a 1954 federal flood control project known as the San Antonio Channel Improvement Project. The vision established, as part of a lengthy public process, is to restore the creeks in such a way that sustains and enriches life, improves water quality and the ecosystem, provides for public gathering places and recreational uses, promotes cultural and historical awareness, is self-sustaining requiring low maintenance, and connects to neighborhoods and businesses.

Its mission is:

1. To develop and advance planning concepts for restoring the environmental condition of the Alazán, Apache, Martinez, and San Pedro creeks
2. To maintain or enhance where possible the current flood control components of these creeks, and
3. To provide increased opportunities for community enjoyment.

The project design for each of the four Westside Creeks is underway and has reached 35% completion. We invite you to come learn about the design plan for your neighborhood creek and meet with project staff from US Army Corps of Engineers, their design firm Michael Baker International – Huitt – Zollars, Inc., and the San Antonio River Authority. You can preview the presentations and submit comments/questions online at westsidecreeks.com or by calling 210-227-1373. Join us for the first round of community information sessions.
