| 613 | City of San Antonio | 43905 | San Antonio | USA | 2016 | Community-Scale Development | Green space and/ or biodiversity preservation and expansion | The City of San Antonio has preserved over 1200 acres of open space and developed 41 miles of greenway trails that are currently open to the public. Several sales tax initiatives, in combination with secondary funding sources, will provide for the construction of 89 miles of trail with the ultimate goal of encircling the city with approximately 130 miles of hike and bike trails along the city’s creekways. The greenway trails are linked to sidewalks, bike lanes and public transit in an effort to enhance opportunities for alternative transit The Mission and Museum Reach Projects, restoration and recreation projects connect the San Antonio River to the Downtown Riverwalk, restoring woodland ecosystems and riverine features. The project adds hike and bike trails and reconnects San Antonio’s commercial institutions to our cultural and historical features equating to 2020 acres of public lands (City, County, SARA and federal – National Park Service) with a river running through it. This is larger than the 3 most popular public parks in the USA – Central Park, NYC, 843 acres; Golden Gate Park, SF, 1017 acres; and the Chicago lakeside parks, 1440 acres. The expansion of urban nature will reduce the impact of the urban heat island effect that is correlated with increased GHG emissions | (29.4241°, -98.4936°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||
