The city of San Antonio won a $16 million federal grant targeted toward building a protected bikeway, reports Sanford Nowlin in San Antonio Current.
“The grant, administered through the Department of Transportation (TxDOT), will allow the city to build almost a mile of two-way, separated bike lanes from Flores Street to I-37. The route for the new lanes also will include Dolorosa, Market, Alamo and Commerce streets, according details provided by the city.” The project includes traffic signal upgrades, new signage, and improved lighting.
