The San Antonio River, Mission Reach Phase 2, Part 2

Between ConcepciĆ³n Park on E Theo Ave and Mission Rd

Today's photos:

















The San Antonio River restoration is proceeding from north to south. The initial restoration of the river banks is relatively complete between Alamo St and E Theo Ave. The trail is complete south to Mission Rd, but the river banks south of E Theo Ave are still a work in progress. That is the primary reason the photos in this series do not show much of the river banks.

In spite of the ongoing work, it is already an area that has a wealth of natural beauty. I had the opportunity today to briefly chat with two of the young men doing the restoration landscaping. They were rightfully proud of the work they have accomplished thus far. What has been for decades essentially a drainage channel, is undergoing a remarkable transformation.

Once again I took so many photos, there will be a couple more posts next week from this series.
