Highnos!

Tearing down a highway and replacing it with a tree lined boulevard sounds like a lovely idea. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening to San Antonio (unless an act of God required a total city rebuilding).

San Antonio has two major interstates that meet in our downtown: I-10 and I-35. And I think that our highways have integrated themselves nicely into our city--well nicely is a stretch, but our businesses are thriving along our many highways (we also have two concentric loops that connect our highways like a bicycle), both inter and intra state. We are actually so dependent on highways we have very few streets that run through the city. Without the highways--we really couldn't get around the city at all.

What we are fighting with right now are ugly toll roads that make little sense other than an obvious money grab.
