The St. Mary's Strip was hindered by construction for more than two years, devastating several businesses, before its completion in September.
Councilwoman Sukh Kaur , flanked by neighbors and business owners, cuts a ribbon on the St. Mary's Strip to celebrate the completion of construction on the popular entertainment district.The City of San Antonio’s District 1 office and Gallery Club on St. Mary’s Street hosted “Rock the Block” on Saturday, billed as a block party marking the end of construction on the street — seven months after its completion.
St. Mary’s Street remained open to traffic as the event began, at odds with what many people expect from a block party. Only the bicycle lane appeared closed, blocked by the lectern where District 1 Councilwoman Sukh Kaur and others addressed the small crowd, including a few bystanders, who joined to listen.
“But … we commit to helping every single establishment here stay. We don’t want to see any other business on this street close and our office will do everything we can to put our word where our mouth is and actually help in any way that we can,” she said. “Let’s go rock the block, y’all.”
