¡Bienvenidos!
The Westside Creeks Project is a community-based creek restoration effort started in 2008 by the San Antonio River Authority.
The project’s focus is to restore 11 miles of creekways that were channelized as part of a 1954 federal flood control project known as the San Antonio Channel Improvement Project. The vision established, as part of a lengthy public process, is to restore the creeks in such a way that sustains and enriches life, improves water quality and the ecosystem, provides for public gathering places and recreational uses, promotes cultural and historical awareness, is self-sustaining requiring low maintenance, and connects to neighborhoods and businesses.
Its mission is:
- To develop and advance planning concepts for restoring the environmental condition of the Alazán, Apache, Martinez, and San Pedro creeks
- To maintain or enhance where possible the current flood control components of these creeks, and
- To provide increased opportunities for community enjoyment.
