SAN ANTONIO The Alamo City Advisory Council OK d a set of design guidelines Wednesday, formally renewing efforts to redesign Alamo Plaza.
The city board stipulated the Cenotaph would be repaired, not relocated down Alamo Street. Portions of that road would close from Houston to Crockett by June 1, only allowing access to commercial vehicles and first responders.
The Alamo Street closure could extend to Commerce, though city leaders want to model traffic patterns using temporary closures before making permanent moves beyond Crockett.
