District 10 Neighbor Satisfaction Survey

As e-scooters and e-bicycles have become increasingly popular, the City of San Antonio is committed to striking a balance between innovative transportation options and providing safe, accessible sidewalks and streets. The City's Transportation Committee approved submitting the following amendments to the pilot program to the full City Council for a vote:

• Placing a moratorium on the issuance of permits until the pilot program is completed, effective immediately.
• Imposing hours of operation from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Requiring scooters and bikes in the greater downtown area to be picked up daily by the vendor: 11:30 p.m. removal and no deployment until 5 a.m.
• Encourage the use of designated parking zones.
• Vehicles parked in prohibited areas may be impounded without warning. 
  • City staff, Centro and identified partners will be authorized to remove vehicles    

The amendments will be discussed and voted on at the Feb. 14 City Council meeting.

Dockless vehicle survey now open on SASpeakUp.com

The City is seeking feedback from San Antonio residents on the future of dockless vehicles through a new survey. More than 4,400 people participated in the City's first dockless vehicle survey in summer 2018, and these initial results helped inform the creation of the dockless vehicle pilot program.

 

Visit  SASpeakUp.com to take the City's dockless vehicle survey, which is available in English and Spanish.

 

Data reported to 311 and collected through the survey will help inform changes to the Dockless Vehicle Ordinance.

Oversized vehicle parking within residential areas is prohibited by City Code. Violations of this prohibition continue to increase. As a response, City Council voted to approve increasing the violation amount from $35.00 to $500.00 in March 2018.

 

An oversized vehicle: A motor vehicle, trailer, or boat which by itself or together with other structure(s) or vehicle(s) attached to it exceeds twenty-four (24) feet in length, eight (8) feet in width or eight (8) feet in height, exclusive of accessories such as antennas, air conditioners, luggage racks, and mirrors. If an oversized vehicle is also a recreational vehicle, it may not be parked on the street in a residential district.  If it does not meet the criteria for an oversized vehicle it may be parked on the street provided that it is not being stored there. It may park on the street only for such time as is actually necessary to load and unload passengers, freight and merchandise. There is no exception for trip preparation. This rule applies 24 hours a day.

Join us at McAllister Park's Mud Trail on Friday, February 1st at 10:00 a.m. as we celebrate the dedication of our latest public art installation. The project was funded by the 2012 Bond public art drainage allocations and consists of four metal fabricated sculptural flowers that were designed by San Antonio-based artist Leticia Huerta and fabricated in San Antonio by Wanderlust Ironworks. The artist's design for "Bloom" was inspired by various native wildflowers and bicycle parts and it ranges in height between 10 and 12 feet. It functions as a public art way-finding landmark for mountain bikers and hikers along the primarily unmarked Mud Creek Trail, and each flower's stem includes metal rings that identify past floodwater levels that have been recorded in the area. Glow in the dark stones placed within the center of each flowers become luminous at night, acting as an indicator of the darkening conditions.
