3. Discussion and Appropriate Action Regarding the Proposed Closure of a Block of South Main Avenue to Traffic

Issue

H-E-B has released plans proposing the closure of S. Main Avenue between César E. Chávez Boulevard and Arsenal Street. Approval by the City Council of San Antonio is needed for the plans to move ahead, and the City of San Antonio is currently awaiting results of a traffic study on the impacts of closing this portion of S. Main Avenue to public access.

As reported by Neal Morton for the Express-News, the street currently bisects the grocer’s Arsenal offices, which it says it has outgrown and is planning to redevelop into a nearly 27-acre corporate campus to include a 10,000 square foot grocery store, mixed-use buildings, a culinary school and bike and pedestrian path. The H-E-B Arsenal Master Plan made public by the grocery chain on October 24th is attached for reference.

The Walk & Roll Challenge is a friendly competition conducted by the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) in support of the MPO’s Walk & Roll Program during September and October, the months during which ozone pollution levels are most likely to spike. It is intended to draw attention to the link between transportation and air quality, to encourage new transportation habits, and to recognize employers and individuals committed to clean air and healthy living.

This is an opportunity to discuss the results of the 2013 Walk & Roll Challenge as presented by AACOG’s Transportation Coordinator, Annette Prosterman.
