Tips and tricks and how to use it as a guide for your community
By Daniel Leal
The city of San Antonio, Texas, has been pursuing a long-standing, ambitious initiative aimed at developing a city-wide network of off-road greenway trails that encircle the city.
The San Antonio Trail Design Strategy (SATDS) brings a renewed vision, establishes design principles, and provides easy-to-implement features to boost design quality as well as to build a stronger cultural identity for the greenway trail system. By doing so, the parks and recreation department is not only enhancing civic pride and use of the system by residents (placemaking), but also is elevating the system as an attractive destination for tourists. The second has turned out to be extremely important in the COVID-19 context, when outdoor domestic tourism has become a major trend.
