Early design plans for the River Road project reveal it will likely include replacing Avenue A with a trail.
Attendees listen and take notes during a meeting at the DoSeum Tuesday to discuss early designs for the River Road Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration.Early design plans for the River Road Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration reveals the project will likely include the removal of Avenue A and several low water crossings from Brackenridge Park.
Avenue A is set to be replaced with a trail which will be set farther back from the San Antonio River, and bridges will be constructed at low water crossing removal sites to provide connectivity, said Danny Allen, a senior wildlife biologist at the corps’ Regional Planning and Environmental Center. The project will see the creation of fishing access points, bird viewing locations and access controls, Allen said. The aim of these changes will be to: balance the sediment transport dynamics and restore the natural run sequences in the river; and to provide enough room to plant more native trees, Allen said.
