CINow’s Laura McKieran joined urban planner John Osten on The Source on Texas Public Radio on March 21 to talk about how San Antonio fares on SA2020’s walkability measure and what we can do to make our city more walkable. Listen to the audio or see some live-tweeted highlights.
From TPR:
“Hot-button issues like highway congestion and improving the bus system take center stage most often in discussions about transportation in San Antonio, but there’s another way people get around town: They walk.
The ability to walk safely and effectively is an important part of determining the livability of different parts of a city. Walkable neighborhoods are associated with health, economic and environmental benefits, but San Antonio’s walkability is not improving. In fact, it’s gotten worse.
How can we make San Antonio a more pedestrian-friendly city?”
